How to use wild oregano oil

Wild oregano oil is a potent, natural medicine with vast value for human health. It is made from the wild spice picked in the high mountains, then distilled into an essential spice oil, then emulsified in extra virgin olive oil. It was popularized as a natural medicine through the book The Cure is in the Cupboard, now in its 20th edition. Through radio appearances and TV shows, the whole idea of wild oregano oil became popularized. Now, it is trendy to take the oil as a supplement, as drops or gelcaps. However, to minimize the confusion, there is the original wild oregano oil that started the industry and is the basis of numerous scientific studies, deemed by investigators as wild oregano oil.

People know of oregano for its lovely flavor in pizza and spaghetti. However, many are unaware that in ancient times it was more renowned as a medicine than a food, being used for infections, wound healing, lung conditions, and skin diseases.

Yet, in any search of the Internet it would be easy to be confused for those wishing to purchase the supplement. There are dozens of brands now available, many of which claim to be wild and others which make no such claim. The original supplement which started the industry is still available. It has always been wild and has never deviated. Since this time, however, oregano oil has become commercialized, and many farm-raised types are available, some of which are manipulated and cloned.

For oregano oil fans it is now well-established that the wild type is by far the ideal. This is stated because there are numerous farm-raised versions now available. Wild oregano grows in the mountains on rock, while farm-raised grows at sea-level or nearly on mere dirt. Sometimes, it is grown organically, but more often than not it derives from commercial farming, which typically involves the use of agricultural chemicals. This includes the carcinogen Round-UP. Obviously, all that arises from the Mediterranean mountains is free of such corruption.

There are many ways to use a properly produced wild oregano oil. The best method is to take the drops under the tongue. When doing so, the drops can be held there a few seconds before swallowing. Another way is to follow oral intake with water or juice, if the under-the-tongue method isn’t tolerated. The oil can also simply be added to juice or water and drank. The ideal juices include tomato, apricot, pear, carrot, and citrus juice.

It can also be added to cooking. No harm is done here. Thus, it is an ideal addition to soup, stir-fry, salads, marinades, stews, casseroles, and sauces. A great use is in pizza sauce, spaghetti, and marinades, being careful not to use too much, as this might too greatly alter the flavor. Wild oregano oil may also be taken as gelcaps, the tiny BSE-free beef gelatin capsules containing about 6 drops each. One benefit is that a person would never get food poisoning. Nor would your guests.

When using true wild oregano oil, daily use in any of these forms is optimal. Remember, it is the world’s most versatile antioxidant, so it is desirable to consume it daily.
