Oregano essential oil is definitely a household staple! This incredible oil touts amazing benefits such as immune system support, assisting the body's response to inflammation and injury, digestive health, liver support and is a powerful antioxidant.

So much of our modern life creates free radicals within the body - both naturally occurring free radicals and those from environmental exposure. Adding antioxidants into our wellness routine provides the body with tools for repairing cellular damage at a DNA level. This is definitely something we want to have!!

One of the most widely known uses of Oregano essential oil is its ability to support the body's response to inflammation and infection, providing additional ‘boots on the ground' for the innate immune system to fight off whatever is causing imbalance. This makes Oregano a great addition to a wellness roller or supplement routine! Fun fact: oregano oil has even been used by farmers to support healthy, disease free animals!

PROVIDING A STRONG IMMUNE DEFENSE: OREGANO, THYME, CINNAMON BARK & CLOVE by Dr. Cole Woolley “A good defense keeps the enemies wondering about your strength. Many fortresses have been successfully defended by periodically showing a strong defense. Most attacks by harmful bacteria are weak attacks. A single bacterial organism can replicate into two identical organisms in 20-30 minutes. One organism may seem harmless, maybe even two; but they just keep replicating by binary fission (forming two identical organisms from one) until their numbers are significant.

Showing a strong defense from time to time can help fight off the large initial attacks. From time-to-time your human immune defenses become compromised by inadequate sleep, unhealthy diet, and poor physical conditioning. Fortunately, you can use a variety of defensive essential oils to keep a strong show of force.

These four essential oils remind me of the East High School football offensive line this past year. Ranked #1 in Utah and ranked 23rd nationally. The offensive line was massive. They moved as a unit. They held hands as they approached the defense. They looked like a solid wall. I would have been squashed by these guys. They knew they were going to win. That's what these four essential oils are like – winners.”

BACKGROUND Native to Mediterranean Europe and Western Asia, oregano is a compact flowering shrub in the mint family. Also known as wild marjoram, it was traditionally used as a culinary herb, adding a deeply herbaceous flavor and aroma to dishes. Oregano essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the plant and contains the powerful constituent carvacrol.

In the early 1100s, Oregano essential oil was listed in Hildegard's Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly regarded Benedictine herbalist Hildegard of Bingen.

KEY CONSTITUENTS Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them sprecic health-supporting properties

• Carvacrol: this constituent provides incredible benefits including immune health (overall and digestive), antioxidants, and may support the body's ability to heal.
• Oregano is also high in phenols, so inhaling directly from the bottle will provide a very strong aroma and may irritate the skin if applied without a carrier oil. This powerful oil is a key component of immune supportive blends and supplements such as ImmuPower, Inner Defense, and the Raindrop Massage Technique.

PRODUCT & EMOTIONS The warm, herbaceous scent of Oregano essential oil can help create a sense of security emotionally. It has such wonderful properties to support our physical body, that the aroma alone evokes a sense of peace and safety.

When our physical body is below the wellness line, it absolutely affects our mental and emotional state. Pain, discomfort, feeling run down… it is exhausting. Adding in supportive oils like Oregano can help the mind feel secure and at peace as the body begins to heal, and often even paves the way for physical healing to occur.

PRODUCT OPTIONS

OREGANO VITALITY Oregano Vitality essential oil is the same essential oil as Oregano. It is labeled differently for internal use and can be added to foods, taken in an empty vegetable capsule and used as a dietary supplement.

DAILY HABITS WITH OREGANO Oregano is a hot oil just like Peppermint, Thieves and Lemongrass, meaning it can be very warming to the skin and should typically be diluted with a carrier oil. The feet are a great place to start applying essential oil because the skin isn't as sensitive and all of our body systems end in the feet.
