10 Health Benefits of Oregano Oil

9. Claim: Oregano Oil Has Potential

TRUE

Research from many credible medical journals supports oregano oil's potential as a therapeutic treatment for many conditions. However, the number of studies conducted thus far is small and have mostly used animal subjects. That being said, oregano oil has a large following and considerable body of anecdotal evidence behind it, and people may find it effective for them. Experts suggest using only highly-diluted oregano oil (1%) to avoid adverse reactions. Until more research is published, oregano oil should be used with caution. It is best to speak with a doctor first before starting any new herbal treatment.
