Most of you have probably heard of oregano before, which is the strong-smelling stuff that you put on your pizza. However, many people are not aware that it has many amazing health benefits, is nature's antibiotic, and comes in the extracted form of an oil. Oregano oil is a natural substance that is extracted from the oregano plant by distilling the leaves and flowers with steam.
Oregano oil has many health benefits that the vast majority are unaware of. When I first discovered oregano oil and had gotten to know it, I was so shocked that I did not know before how beneficial this oil is and how I had not discovered it sooner. Recent studies state that it has shown the ability to prevent cancer and kill cancer cells, raise your immune system, help with cholesterol.. etc. Well, look at some of the benefits listed below for your convenience.
Health Benefits and uses:
Oregano oil can be found in any nutrition and health store. But for best effects, be sure to buy a 70% or higher concentration of oregano oil. The stuff with lower concentration may be cheaper, but it is not as effective.
TIP* If taking oregano oil regularly, it is best to increase your iron ingestion, as oregano oil may reduce the body`s ability to absorb iron. Nevertheless, this is not a serious side effect and the health benefits of oregano oil are very much worth it.
WARNINGS*
