10. Claim: Oregano Oil is a Wonder Drug

FALSE

Evidence supporting the health benefits of oregano oil and carvacrol is highly anecdotal and subjective. Additionally, there is limited research on the value of essential oils in general, and human trials have had mixed results. Furthermore, the manufacture and sale of essential oils are not regulated, and the FDA has not approved essential oils as treatments or cures for any disease or medical condition, only as food additives and preservatives.
