It\u2019s typically extracted through cold-press methods using a carrier oil (often olive oil) as the solvent, says Jenna Volpe, R.D.N., L.D., C.L.T., functional registered dietitian, clinical herbalist, and founder of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wholeisticliving.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whole-istic Living<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Throughout the process, oregano\u2019s beneficial compounds seep into the oil. The end result is swallowed down either in its original liquid form or packaged up in coated capsules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to understand that this is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">different<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than oregano essential oil. \u201cOil of oregano and oregano essential oil often get confused, because they sound like the same thing\u2014but they\u2019re actually very different types of extracts that come from the same plant,\u201d says Volpe. Oregano essential oil is more highly concentrated, containing higher levels of the volatile oils found in the herb. As a result, \u201cpeople should never take oregano essential oil internally, as it could potentially damage the liver,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d warns Volpe<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Potential Health Benefits of Oregano Oil<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what might happen if you season your diet with an oregano oil supplement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Promotes A Healthy Immune Response<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/antioxidants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">antioxidants<\/a> in oregano? They don\u2019t just add signature color\u2014they also contribute to oregano oil\u2019s potential to fortify your immune system. \u201cOregano oil\u2019s bacteria-balancing and antioxidant actions indirectly support immune health by promoting microbial balance and reducing oxidative stress,\u201d explains naturopathic doctor <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/about.me\/melaniekeller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Melanie Keller, N.D<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Since these factors bog down your body\u2019s defenses, lightening their load is a very good thing for immunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some studies also show that a compound called carvacrol in oregano oil may modulate immune activity by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10215463\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lowering inflammatory cytokines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cWhile it doesn\u2019t \u2018boost\u2019 immunity in the causal sense, it can help the immune system function more efficiently when the body is dealing with some sort of offender,\u201d Keller says.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Supports A Balanced Gut Microbiome<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to the bacteria-balancing elements in oregano oil, the natural supplement also does some meaningful work in the gut. \u201cOregano oil can help rebalance the gut microbiome when there\u2019s bacterial or fungal overgrowth, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/sibo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/candida-overgrowth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">candida overgrowth<\/a>,\u201d says Keller. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4030608\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> backs this up, with one study finding oil of oregano really gets the job done in cases of SIBO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/right-type-of-gut-health-supplement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>The Right Type of Gut Health Supplement for Every Goal<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the strength of oregano oil, Keller recommends combining it with dietary changes, like increasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/digestion-gut-health\/fiber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prebiotic fiber<\/a> intake, to maintain healthy gut flora.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. <\/b><b>Supports Cellular Health<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that oregano is a staple in some of the longest-living cultures in the world (particularly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/38566378\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sardinia in Italy and Ikaria in Greece<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), it\u2019s no surprise that the herb may support health throughout the years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35414316\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2023 research review<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for example, found the monoterpenes p-cymene, carvacrol, thymol, and \u03b3-terpinene in oregano oil support cellular health and longevity. Meanwhile, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19373612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">older research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has shown that oil of oregano induces apoptosis (a.k.a. cell death) in unhealthy human cells. While more large-scale studies are needed, the herb shows some serious potential for promoting health in the long run, Volpe says.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4.

Supports Healthy Skin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTopical use is where oregano essential oil shines,\u201d says Keller. Applied to the skin and nails, the oil can help with fungal and bacterial imbalances and wound healing. One<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6182053\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2018 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for example, revealed that topical oregano oil helped the body conquer bacterial issues that often affect the skin or nails. Meanwhile, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0278691520304762\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2020 study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests the herb-infused oil supports speedier wound recovery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have a couple of oregano\u2019s key compounds\u2014specifically the antioxidants thymol and carvacrol\u2014to thank here, according to Keller. \u201c[These compounds] can damage the membranes of bacteria and fungi, making it harder for them to survive and multiply,\u201d she explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Keeps Insects At Bay<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another unexpected usage for oregano essential oil? It might help ward off pesky insects! You can thank active components carvacrol and thymol for that. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBoth of these repel certain insects, namely mosquitoes and ticks, in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6423461\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lab studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d says Keller. \u201cThat said, oregano oil is not as well-studied or long-lasting as established repellents like citronella.\u201d If you decide to give it a go on your next hike or camping trip, Keller recommends diluting it with a carrier oil and reapplying frequently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Trying Oil of Oregano<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When shopping for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-natural-remedies\/shop-by-concern\/immune-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oil of oregano supplements<\/a>, look for ones that have been third-party tested. This means an outside organization has vetted them for quality and purity. Volpe says snagging an organic product is a good idea, too. \u201cOtherwise [you] may be unknowingly ingesting toxic substances such as chemical herbicides, which may be more concentrated in conventionally-grown oregano leaves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another consideration: the standardization of oregano oil. Levels of carvacrol in the oil are standardized to establish their potency and consistency. You\u2019ll generally see levels listed between 60 to 85 percent, with a higher percentage indicating a more potent oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve got that figured out, it\u2019s time to determine your dose. Many standardized supplements provide somewhere around 50 milligrams of extra-potent oil of oregano per serving, which can be taken two to three times daily, according to Volpe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whichever route you take, don\u2019t go full-blast from the get-go. Instead, Volpe recommends titrating your dosage up slowly to reduce the chances of an adverse reaction like \u201cdie-off.\u201d \u201cThis is a toxic reaction in which the dying microbes spill out large quantities of endotoxins into the gut and bloodstream, burdening the liver and immune system,\u201d she explains. Basically, it means you&#8217;re wiping out bad-guy gut bugs too quickly. Symptoms of \u201cdie-off\u201d can vary from person to person, but Volpe says they can include gas, diarrhea, skin rashes, migraines, joint pain, or extreme fatigue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, oregano oil isn\u2019t a supplement you\u2019re meant to take internally forever. Once you reach your therapeutic dosage, Volpe recommends limiting supplementation to no more than four to 12 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Interested in trying oregano <em>essential<\/em> oil externally? Don&#8217;t put it directly on your skin. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor skin or nail use, the essential oil should always be diluted in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/natural-beauty-skin\/aromatherapy\/carrier-oils\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carrier oil<\/a> before applying; undiluted oregano essential oil can burn the skin,\u201d Keller says. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A safe and effective ratio is about one to two drops of oregano essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil, she explains. Carriers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/life-flo-health-care-fractionated-coconut-oil-16-fl-oz-oil\/ly-1070\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coconut oil<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/jojoba-oil-4-oz\/vs-3940\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jojoba oil<\/a>, or extra-virgin olive oil can all do the job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The herb you know and love in marinara and Italian dressing is also a go-to supplement with promise for combating fungal and microbial imbalances, promoting gut health, and more. Meanwhile, the essential oil made from oregano can help you stay bug-free in the warmer months and work against any fungus- or bacteria-related skin issues.
