I often have people writing to me for help that either don’t have health insurance or simply can’t afford to go through the medical system to treat their Morgellons disease. These people are all looking for ways of treating their Morgellons. If you fall into this category, then I highly suggest you read and try what I’m about to recommend to you here.
And, in a world increasingly concerned about antibiotic resistance and the potential side effects of pharmaceutical medications, the search for natural alternatives to fight infections and boost overall health has gained momentum. Among these alternatives, oil of oregano has emerged as a powerful and versatile remedy. This herbal extract, derived from the oregano plant, is revered for its natural antibiotic properties and a wide range of health benefits. In this blog post, we’ll explore the wonders of oil of oregano as a natural antibiotic and its many uses in promoting wellness.
What Is Oil of Oregano?
Oil of oregano is a concentrated essential oil extracted from the leaves and flowers of the oregano plant, scientifically known as Origanum vulgare. This potent oil contains a compound called carvacrol, which is responsible for its antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. The carvacrol content in oil of oregano can vary depending on the source and processing methods, but a high-quality product will have a significant concentration of this therapeutic compound.
The Antibiotic Power of Oil of Oregano
- Antibacterial Properties: Oil of oregano has been shown to be effective against a wide range of harmful bacteria. Research suggests that it can help combat infections caused by bacteria like Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus, which are known for their antibiotic resistance. And… It can also be used to kill the Lyme disease causing bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi! Not only that, but a study done by Johns Hopkins found it and some other essential oils to be even more effective at beating chronic Lyme disease than traditional antibiotics.
- Antifungal Effects: Fungal infections, such as candidiasis can be challenging to treat. Oil of oregano can help to inhibit the growth of fungi, including Candida species. This makes it a valuable natural remedy for those struggling with recurring yeast infections.
- Antiviral Potential: While more research is needed, oil of oregano has shown promise in inhibiting certain viruses. Some studies have suggested that it may have antiviral effects against the common cold and flu viruses.
How to Use Oil of Oregano as a Natural Antibiotic
- Oral Consumption: Oil of oregano can be taken orally, typically in the form of liquid drops or softgel capsules. I recommend that you take the softgel capsules since it’s easier to take and to accurately keep track of how much you are taking.
- Topical Application: For skin infections or fungal issues, you can dilute oil of oregano with a carrier oil and apply it directly to the affected area. Be sure to perform a patch test to check for any adverse reactions.
How to Take it
To begin with, please start slow and listen to your body. Oil of oregano can be quite strong. Due to this, it can easily cause a herx reaction. And for those of you that don’t already know, a herx reaction is when toxins are release into your body due to detoxification or the killing of bacteria. This reaction can range in symptoms and feel like the flu, a headache, joint and muscle pain, body aches, a sore throat, or other symptoms.
So how do you take it? With food! I suggest you take 1 to 2 soft gel capsules (2,000 mg per capsule) with your meals. I also suggest trying one to two capsules before going to bed to prevent the nighttime itching. But remember, you want to start slow! So, I would begin with 1 capsule with a meal for the first week before adding a second.
But… Oil of oregano alone will not be enough to beat your Morgellons. You MUST repopulate your gut with beneficial bacteria. And if you don’t know the best way to do this, then I suggest you read this!
Precautions and Considerations
While oil of oregano is generally safe for most people when used as directed, there are a few important considerations:
- Dosage: Always follow the recommended dosage on the product label or consult a healthcare professional. Excessive use may cause digestive discomfort.
- Purity: Ensure you purchase a high-quality, pure oil of oregano product to maximize its therapeutic benefits.
- Allergies: If you have allergies to plants in the Lamiaceae family (which includes mint, basil, and thyme), exercise caution, as oregano is part of this family.
- Pregnancy and Children: Pregnant and nursing women and young children should consult a healthcare professional before using oil of oregano.
Conclusion
Oil of oregano is a natural antibiotic that harnesses the power of the oregano plant to combat bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. With its impressive antibacterial properties, it offers a viable alternative to pharmaceutical antibiotics. However, it’s essential to use it responsibly and consult a healthcare professional when needed. Whether you’re looking to boost your immune system or treat a specific ailment, oil of oregano can be a valuable addition to your natural medicine cabinet, offering a holistic approach to health and well-being.
