Find Nature's Answer To Bacterial, Viral & Fungal Infections
Almost EVERYONE has experienced a cold or flu at some point in his/her life! Our high tech medical system still has little help to offer except for drugs that might suppress the all too familiar symptoms - runny nose, congestion, sore throats and fatigue. These drugs, however, often have side effects such as drowsiness, or could lead to more serious complications.

Colds and flu are ancient afflictions that our ancestors suffered from since the beginning of time. Perhaps that’s why so many plants have been used throughout history to help alleviate cold and flu symptoms, often with much more effective results than modern medicine, and without the unwanted side effects.

Herbal treatments for colds and flu focus on many different aspects of this common health challenge. These include preventing infection, increasing immune system function (the body’s natural defense), relieving congestion and coughs, soothing a sore throat, reducing a fever and quieting an upset stomach.

There are many herbs you’ll want to have in your Natural Medicine Chest that have been scientifically proven to fortify the immune system. It’s best to start taking them immediately if you are under extra stress, exposed to a chill or surrounded by others with a cold or flu. Oil of Oregano is such herb.

The Spice With The Disease-Fighting Punch
Oregano (Origanum vulgare), an aromatic herb that indigenous to the Mediterranean region, is a member of the mint family. The ancient Greek's original name for this plant, "oreganos", translated to "Delight of the Mountains". It earned this name because of the fragrance that it exuded, which has been described as complex, warm and spicy. The Greeks believed that if their cows ate oregano, it gave the meat a better flavor. Today, Oregano is recognized internationally as a culinary spice. It is a popular herb with Americans, especially in the distinctive aroma of Italian style cooking. 

Aromatic spices have been used throughout the world for centuries for both their distinctive flavor and aroma as well as for their medicinal qualities:

Oregano contains many active compounds that provide beneficial support to our bodies, such as thymol and carvacrol. These components strongly discourage the growth of microorganisms, an action recognized by traditional herbalists throughout history as well as supported by modern scientific research. 

Oregano oil is exceptional in its ability to destroy many different kinds of pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganisms. It has a stronger effect than commercial preparations of phenol, a well-recognized medical antiseptic. 

Disease causing microorganisms including bacteria, fungus, virus and parasites are involved in illnesses ranging from colds and flu to gingivitis of the gums, athlete's foot and candida. Oregano oil has been shown in scientific studies to actively inhibit and destroy E. Coli, candida albicans and the bacteria that cause strep and staph infections. 

Oregano oil has been used for diarrhea, intestinal gas, and digestive problems, as well as sore throats and minor breathing difficulties.

Unlike pharmaceutical drug antibiotics, Oregano oil does not cause the development of resistant strains of bacteria. 

Although it is always possible for an individual to have an allergic reaction to any substance, there are no known adverse effects to oil of Oregano.

Is It Oregano or Marjoram?
There is a lot of confusion about Oregano, because there are many plants throughout the world that are called oregano. Marjoram is often referred to as Oregano, because it is a close cousin to true Oregano, and the genus and species name of Marjoram is Origanum majorana. To add to the confusion, the plant called oregano in Spain, Thymus nummularius, is different than Mexican oregano, Lippia graveolens. It is important to be aware of this because different species have different chemical constituents. The active ingredient, carvacrol, is found in high amounts only in true oregano, Origanum vulgare, the exact species that Nature's Answer™ uses in its products.

Nature's Answer's Oil of Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is the finest quality of concentrated oregano oil available today, steam distilled in a base of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It takes approximately 200 pounds of oregano to produce 2 pounds of Oregano Oil. This highly concentrated form provides you with a quality plant remedy containing all of the important volatile oils intact, thus remaining true to our philosophy of maintaining the plant's Holistic Balance.
