Research on Oil of oregano
Preliminary research for Oregano oil supports its use
for infections. Different test-tube studies have shown
that oregano oil can inhibit or destroy many strains of
fungi, bacteria, and parasites. A handful of human and
animal studies, sponsored by an Oregano oil
manufacturer, have found similar results. Anecdotal
evidence supports its use for athlete's foot.
In an abstract in the Journal of the American College of
Nutrition that appeared last year, 18 mice were injected
with the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Three of the
six mice that received Oil of Oregano orally survived
the infection, while two of the six mice that received
the antibiotic Vancomycin died. All six of the mice that
received no treatment died within three days.
The same researchers also tested Oil of Oregano's
effects on mice that had been injected with the yeast
Candida albicans. In the study, published last year in
the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, all
six of the mice fed Oil of Oregano survived more than 30
days with no sign of Candida infection, while all six
mice that were fed just olive oil died within seven
days.
A small study published in Phytotherapy Research in 2000
examined the effects of Oil of Oregano on 11 adults with
the intestinal parasite Blastocystis hominis, which can
cause diarrhea, anal itching, and weight loss.
Participants took 600 mg of Oil of Oregano daily for six
weeks. Eight were completely free of the parasite, and
the remaining three participants had a reduction in
symptoms. Similar research in Scottsdale, Arizona and
Biotics Research Corporation of Houston, Texas point in
the same direction.
Anti-cancer
In the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, Greek
researchers showed that wild oil of oregano even has the
potential to destroy human cancer cells.
A study in the Journal of Applied Nutrition found that
Carvachol contained in a one percent concentration of
Oil of Oregano effectively killed the bacteria Candida
Albicans. One warning: Oregano is very warming " When
the plant's phenols ( a type of flavonoid) which are
rich in oxygen, hit water, they create a hydrogen ion
shift and produce heat, explains Ingram, who points out
that Oregano owes its germ fighting prowess to the heat:
"The heat reaction dehydrates germs and kills them with
no harm to the human tissues", he says, "Although it
could be uncomfortable. When applying Oil of Oregano to
sensitive areas, like the vagina or face." Oregano
contains Quercetin, which has strong antioxidant
properties and may be especially protective against
breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers.
A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture study shows that
oregano offers the most antioxidant activity of all
herbs examined: 42 times more antioxidant activity than
apples, 30 times more than potatoes and 12 times more
than oranges.
