The evidence in words
Safety profile
Irritating to mucosa; dilute; not for pregnancy or long-term use.
Interactions to respect
No major interactions are on record for Oregano Oil at typical doses, but tell your clinician about everything you take.
What Oregano Oil is
Oregano oil is concentrated in carvacrol and thymol, marketed as a natural antimicrobial.
The honest bottom line
Strong in a petri dish, unproven in people, and harsh. Not a reliable gut or immune remedy.
