Oregano Oil: Benefits, Uses & Scientific Evidence

Oreganol (or oregano oil) is used by herbalists to treat a variety of ailments, including athlete's foot, sunburn and respiratory and digestive disorders. Although the health benefits of Oreganol have not been conclusively proven in clinical studies, a 2001 study at Georgetown University found that oregano oil effectively kills certain types of bacteria and fungi. Oreganol is made from hand-picked wild mountain oregano grown without chemicals or pesticides.
