Oil of Oregano is the first natural antiseptic and possesses a wide variety of microbial killing powers. Without resemblance to antibiotics, oregano does not have the known tendency for the development of microbe resistance. Oregano oil can kill or block the growth of virtually any fungus, as well as inhibit the growth of most bacteria. Of the 30 most active compounds identified in Oil of Oregano, carvacol and thymol are the most active and they work together synergistically to produce powerful antiseptic properties.
Oil of Oregano is perhaps the most powerful herbal anti-fungal agent known. Its effectiveness is increased by its safety, since it is entirely non-toxic. This is of crucial importance with widespread fungal infections such as Candidiasis, since large doses may be necessary to establish a cure. Fungal resistance to oregano is very rare. In fact, oregano is such a powerful anti-fungal agent that it is capable of destroying fungi that have been mutated in the laboratory as resistant forms of fungi that result from antibiotic therapy.
