WOO is an amber-brown essential oil steam-distilled from the leaves and flowers of the plant oreganum vulgare (100# leaves/flowers yield 1# oil).
WOO's smell is powerful, pungent and balsamic - Its taste is aromatic, peppery hot and very slightly bitter.
The oregano sold as a spice in North America is either "Sweet Marjoram"or "Mexican Sage"- not Origanum Vulgare.
Wild Oregano Oil (WOO) will kill any kind of "germ".

One of the strongest and most effective broad spectrum antibiotics known to man - an age-old, now scientifically proven remedy.
Safe to use externally and internally (at appropriate doses) -, with no negative side-effects.
• Analgesic
• Anti-allergy
• Antiseptic / Anti-bacterial
• Anti-cancer
• Anti-fungal (E.g. yeast infection, athlete's foot, nail fungus, dandruff, seborrhea)
• Anti-inflammatory (E.g. arthritis, muscle/joint injuries)
• Antioxidant
• Anti-parasitic (head lice, internal parasites)
• Antispasmodic
• Anti-venom
• Anti-viral (E.g. colds, flu, cold sores, shingles, herpes, warts)
Useful against 90 different types of microorganisms - including:
• Escherichia coli (E. Coli)
• Candida albicans
• Proteus
• Cryptococcus neoformans
• Staphylococcus aureus ("Staph")
• Pseudomonas aerugiosa
• Salmonella
• Molds
• Listeria monocytogenes
Over fifty compounds in Oil of Oregano demonstrate antimicrobial action
All fall into 4 main chemical groups:
• Phenols (E.g. carvacrol, thymol ) - act as antiseptics and antioxidants.
• Terpenes (E.g. pinene, terpinene) - exhibit antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties.
• Long-chain alcohols (e.g. linalool, bonreol) - add to the antiviral and antiseptic qualities.
• Esters (linalyl acetate and geranyl acetate) - are potent antifungal agents found in abundance in oregano oil.
Main Active Ingredients
• Main Active Antimicrobial ingredient is Carvacrol (aka. cymophenol or isopropyl-o-cresol). Carvacrol is a monterpenoid phenol, mostly accredited for WOO's antibiotic and therapeutic properties. A powerful antimicrobial agent proven to be many times more effective than antibiotics at killing pathogenic microorganisms. In research at Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, D.C., in low concentrations, WOO inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus bacteria as effectively as Streptomycin, Penicillin and Vancomycin (considered the strongest of all synthetic antibiotics).
• The second most important antimicrobial compound in WOO is thymol
• Other ingredients include: volatile oils (betabisabolene, Caryophyllene, linalool, and borneol), tannins, resin, sterols, and flavanoids
WOO can be used both internally and externally - The oil should be kept away from the eyes;
Children under the age of twelve should not take the oil internally - Children may be treated by diluting the oregano oil in olive oil and rubbing it on the soles of the feet or other areas of the body.
The adage "less is more" applies to WOO - Start with minimum amounts to observe the effects prior to taking larger dosages.
Full strength essential oil of Oregano is far too powerful for the internal or even external applications.
Topical massage of afflicted areas
Avoid eyes - period!
Must be well diluted to use on mucous membranes (E.g. in nose, vagina) - even diluted oil can burn the skin.
Poultice - for swellings, sprains, stiffness;
Ingestion - normal adult dose is 2-3 drops (1 drop if you choose to use it for children) of WOO (diluted 1 part WOO : 3 parts carrier oil), 2-3 times/day:
(1) Under the tongue (mix well with saliva before swallowing)
or (2) In 4oz. juice, water or milk
or (3) Mixed into a tsp. of honey.
WOO can be harmful if taken at too high of a dose or used over a prolonged period of time.
Drink 6-8 glasses of pure spring water daily to flush toxins (produced as a result of microbial "die-off") from the blood
Vapor inhalation - to address respiratory issues
MAY temporarily hinder iron supplement assimilation - take iron supplements 2 hours before or 2 hours after oil ingestion.
MAY kill "friendly"GI tract bacteria -take a probiotic several hours after oil ingestion to restore the "friendly"bacteria;
AVOID IF PREGNANT or LACTATING-until there has been satisfactory testing.

Fungal Infection E.g. Candida yeast infection (candidiasis / thrush / vaginitis); Toe/Fingernail fungus; Athlete's foot, Dandruff, Ringworm |
Candida Yeast Infection (also called thrush or candidiasis) - a fungal infection by any of the candida species (Candida albicans being the most common); superficial infections are limited to skin and mucosal membranes (e.g. oral thrush, vaginitis), however, systemic infection can be life-threatening and is usually found in severely immuno-compromised persons (E.g. cancer or AIDS patients. WOO contains powerful antifungal agents that eliminate Candida effectively and safely, and has been found to be as effective as nystatin and amphotericin. Take 1-3 drops under the tongue or with juice 3 times daily. Avoid foods that contain sugar and refined flour as these feed the Candida. Remember to drink 6-8 glasses daily of pure spring water to flush the toxins generated by dying candida. Continue treatment as long as necessary, understanding that prolonged treatment and more aggressive dosages may be required. Nail fungus- usually a result of Candida infection in the blood. Wash and dry the nails and soak them with WOO twice daily. Also, take 1-3 drops WOO 3x daily for 6 months. Athlete's foot - Apply the oil topically to the feet after showering and before bed. Dandruff (Seborrhea) -In addition to adding a few drops of WOO to shampoo, add a couple drops to 1 Tbsp olive oil and rub in scalp after shampoo. You can apply this mix to non-scalp seborrhea. |
|
Food Poisoning |
Infected meat /produce - In a recent study, approximately 20% of meat samples obtained from grocery stores contained antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Salmonella and E. coli have been found on such vegetables as iceberg lettuce and alfalfa sprouts. Restaurant food is often contaminated due to poor hygiene /improper washing of produce. By using WOO daily, you can significantly reduce your chances of being one of the 84 million cases of food poisoning that occur annually in N. America. After dining, take 3-5 drops WOO as a preventative. If symptoms occur, take 3 drops hourly for up to 10 hours or until symptoms disappear. WOO does not induce antibiotic resistance as do patented antibiotic drugs. |
|
Cancer |
WOO has antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic properties attributed to rosmaric acid (also present in rosemary) Skin Cancer (Squamous) -Saturate the tumor with WOO then keep covered with a band aid or dressing. |
|
Circulation / High BP |
Lowers blood pressure - WOO contains 7 compounds that lower BP |
|
Teeth and Gums |
Gum Disease / Canker sores / Pyorrhea - apply WOO directly to affected area inside mouth with a clean finger or Q-tip. Oral Hygiene / Bad Breath - a drop of WOO on your tooth brush will leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean; used regularly will vastly improve oral health and hygiene. Toothache - WOO kills bacteria causing the pain. Apply the oil directly to the infected tooth. |
|
UTI |
Carvacrol strongly inhibits E. coli, and Proteus and Pseudomonas bacteria - thus its high presence in oregano oil make it a very effective remedy for urinary tract infections. 3 drops WOO 3 times /day along with a lot of water to flush toxins. |
