We explored the effectiveness of oregano oil and thyme oil in treating ear infections in dogs, specifically looking at their active ingredients, carvacrol and thymol. The study aimed to determine if these essential oils could effectively combat bacteria and fungi responsible for otitis externa, a common condition in dogs that can be caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens.

To do this, we conducted a thorough analysis of 100 bacterial and fungal isolates from infected dogs. These included strains of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, which can be meticillin-resistant, as well as others like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Malassezia pachydermatis. We measured their susceptibility to these oils using established laboratory techniques to find their minimum effective concentrations.

The findings were promising: oregano oil, thyme oil, carvacrol, and thymol demonstrated strong antibacterial and antifungal properties against the tested isolates. This suggests that these natural substances hold potential for treating canine ear infections, especially those caused by resistant strains. Overall, this study encourages further research into their use in veterinary medicine, advocating for their potential benefit in real-world scenarios.

Knocked out a fungal infection in my lungs and sinuses in less than a week! I'd spent a month on Sporanox, with no relief. This oil not only cleared the infection but also eliminated what I thought was dry skin on my feet. I'm 6'0, 280 lbs, taking one pill with breakfast and dinner. I cannot believe how much this has helped! I'm recommending this to everyone. My feet no longer stink at the end of the day; this has become my best supplement ever!

Love love love! For anyone with an infection, this is a must! I spent a month on antibiotics for an abscessed tooth that went unnoticed until symptoms arose suddenly. Following hospitalisation due to facial cellulitis and subsequent oral antibiotics, I caught a nasty cold. My physical therapist suggested this, and after just a week of use, I felt like a new person! It eliminated the last remnants of infection in my gums. I did experience some stomach instability when taking three at once but it was short-lived.

Works. I caught a cold after the coronavirus, resulting in a nasty cough that nothing seemed to alleviate. I suffered for three weeks without improvement until I began taking oregano oil, known as a natural antibiotic. Remarkably, after four days, I felt much better, and the cough has vanished. I continue to take it as an antiparasitic and antifungal. The capsules are small, and I find the tar-like smell quite appealing. While some claim it irritates the stomach, I haven't experienced that, as I always take it after a substantial meal.

We explored the effectiveness of oregano, along with heat and salt, against athlete’s foot caused by the fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Through our study, we used agar blocks infused with this fungus and treated them in a foot bath using different conditions including essential oils, sodium chloride, and varying temperatures. Specifically, we wanted to determine how these elements could work together to combat the infection.

Our findings revealed that high temperatures, particularly at 42 degrees Celsius, were especially lethal to the fungus, killing nearly all of it after just 20 minutes. When we introduced oregano essential oil, we saw a significant enhancement in its fungicidal activity when combined with this higher heat, suggesting that the two could be a powerful pairing. In fact, the minimum concentration required to kill the fungus decreased significantly.

However, the addition of 10% sodium chloride further boosted oregano's effectiveness, indicating that salt played a key role by helping the essential oils adhere better to the fungal cells. Even at lower temperatures, oregano showed destructive effects on the fungal structure. Overall, these findings suggest a promising approach to treating athlete's foot with a combination of heat, oregano, and salt in a foot bath.

We investigated the potential of oregano essential oil, specifically Origanum majorana Essential Oil (OMEO), as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In our pre-clinical study, we utilized two well-known human NSCLC cell lines, A549 and LNM35, to see how OMEO affected their growth and viability. To our satisfaction, we found that OMEO significantly reduced the viability of these cancer cells and inhibited the growth of their colonies in a concentration-dependent manner.

The oil worked partly by inducing a specific type of cell death, which is crucial for combatting cancer, and it reduced levels of a protein linked to cancer survival. We also observed that OMEO slowed down tumor growth in live models, including those implanted with A549 and LNM35 cells. Excitingly, it hindered the migration and invasion of these cancer cells and decreased the occurrence and growth of metastasis in the lymph nodes when tested in mice.

Remarkably, despite some three months of treatment with OMEO, the mice showed no adverse effects on critical body functions like blood or liver health. This suggests that OMEO not only offers a robust anticancer effect but also does so safely.

We assessed the impact of various herbal medicines, including oregano, on treating different forms of rhinosinusitis. In our analysis, which included 47 randomized controlled trials, we particularly focused on the effects of oregano on chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP).

Our findings indicated that Origanum vulgare, or oregano, showed it could effectively improve symptoms and overall quality of life for individuals dealing with CRSsNP. However, we noted that the certainty of the evidence supporting this claim was low, meaning more robust studies are needed to validate these results.

While oregano might be a promising herbal option, the evidence is not strong enough to definitively recommend it as the go-to treatment. Additionally, we must keep in mind that adverse effects can arise from some herbal treatments, making it vital to approach this with caution.

We explored the antimicrobial potential of oregano essential oil (O. vulgare) against pathogens linked to vaginal infections. Using microdilution methods, we determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentration (MBC/MFC) of various clinical strains from women experiencing symptoms.

Our findings showed that certain strains, particularly Escherichia coli and Candida albicans, were especially susceptible to oregano oil. Notably, we observed that the oil inhibited the growth of C. albicans, limiting its filamentation at a concentration of just 0.45 μl/ml. This suggests oregano could play a significant role in addressing yeast infections.

The efficiency of oregano essential oil in combating these infections is promising, as we found quicker determination of its effectiveness within just 24 hours. Overall, this study opens doors for considering oregano oil as a complementary treatment option in gynecological practice, especially for yeast infections.

We examined the synergistic effects of natural plant extracts, particularly oregano essential oil, and probiotics on skin conditions like acne and eczema. Our study involved various probiotic strains and extracts to assess their potential to combat common skin pathogens associated with these ailments. Notably, we found that oregano essential oil displayed strong antibacterial properties, making it a promising option for managing infections linked to eczema.

We incorporated oregano oil at a concentration of 30% into probiotic-infused topical patches, leading to impressive antimicrobial effects. In our tests, these patches not only suppressed skin pathogens effectively but also significantly outperformed conventional acne treatments. The patches containing oregano oil resulted in inhibition zones over ten times larger, highlighting its enhanced efficacy. This combination approach of using oregano oil with probiotics could lead to a more effective treatment for eczema patients, as it addresses both symptoms and underlying infections.

Our genomic analysis also reassured us that the probiotics used in the patches have no antimicrobial resistance determinants, ensuring they are safe to use. This study opens new avenues for developing more effective skincare solutions that harness the power of nature.

We explored the effects of oregano, specifically its active compound carvacrol, on arthritis. The research aimed to see if boosting heat-shock proteins (HSPs), which help in regulating immune responses, could improve the body’s ability to handle inflammation associated with arthritis.

Through both laboratory and animal studies, we found that carvacrol significantly increased Hsp70 protein levels. This boost in stress proteins led to enhanced T cell responses, which are crucial for fighting inflammation. In practical terms, carvacrol showed an impressive ability to reduce symptoms related to arthritis in mice, helping to maintain a healthy immune response.

Our findings suggest that incorporating carvacrol through dietary means can positively influence how the immune system responds to inflammation. This opens up exciting possibilities for using natural food components in managing autoimmune conditions like arthritis, illustrating the link between diet and immune health.

We explored the potential of various plant essential oils to affect blood clotting, specifically looking into oregano (Ocimum basilicum L.) among others. The study involved extracting oils from different plants and testing their antiplatelet activity in guinea pig and rat plasma.

Our findings indicated that several oils, including oregano, demonstrated varying levels of antiplatelet effects and their ability to impact clot retraction. Notably, the oils of Ocotea quixos and Foeniculum vulgare exhibited the strongest antiplatelet activity. However, while oregano was included in the study, it did not show the highest activity compared to these other oils.

Interestingly, we observed a significant correlation between the potency of the oils and their content of phenylpropanoids, which are thought to play a crucial role in preventing clot formation. This suggests that while oregano may contribute to antiplatelet effects, it's the phenylpropanoids found in various plant oils that are primarily responsible for these benefits.

We explored the potential of Origanum vulgare L. ssp. hirtum, commonly known as Greek oregano, in the realm of autoimmune disorders, particularly type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study specifically looked at how an ethyl acetate extract of oregano (EAO) could influence the development of T1D in mice.

To conduct the research, researchers induced type 1 diabetes in male C57BL/6 mice using multiple low doses of streptozotocin. They then treated these mice with EAO over ten days. Our findings revealed that EAO not only reduced the incidence of diabetes but also helped preserve pancreatic islets—critical for insulin production.

The results were promising as we observed significant immunomodulatory effects from the oregano extract. In vitro tests indicated that EAO suppressed the activation of immune cells, particularly macrophages and T lymphocytes. Furthermore, it appeared to decrease the levels of certain inflammatory T cell populations and their associated transcription factors, which play a role in promoting inflammation.

These discoveries suggest that oregano extract could potentially serve as a therapeutic option for managing type 1 diabetes by targeting the autoimmune responses involved in the disease. Overall, this study highlights an exciting avenue for plant-based treatments in diabetes management.

Fantastic natural product! I've an autoimmune condition that occasionally affects my gut and leads to SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth). Rather than relying on anti-fungal medications, this natural oregano oil restores my health quickly! I commence with two capsules daily for a week, followed by one daily for the subsequent week or two.

I never thought I would achieve such a swift result from a natural product without unpleasant side effects. One capsule of Oregano Oil has significantly eased my leg cramps that used to last all day and disrupt my sleep at night. Beyond muscle relief, oregano’s antifungal and antibacterial benefits are well-known. It strengthens the immune system and is an excellent antioxidant. I will ensure this product is a staple before meals going forward, as I am thrilled with the rapid results.

We evaluated the protective effects of oregano (Origanum vulgare) on liver toxicity induced by cyclophosphamide, a commonly used chemotherapy drug known for its potential liver damage. In our study, we pre-treated mice with various doses of oregano extract for seven days before administering a chemotherapy dose.

After 24 hours, we collected blood samples and liver tissues from the animals to assess the liver's response. The results were promising: we found that serum markers indicating liver damage, such as ALT, AST, and ALP, were significantly elevated in the mice treated with cyclophosphamide alone. However, those receiving oregano extract showed a marked reduction in these markers, suggesting that oregano may help protect the liver from poisoning caused by chemotherapy.

The histological examinations aligned with these findings and confirmed that oregano extract has protective properties against liver damage. With its rich array of flavonoids and phenolic compounds, oregano seems capable of supporting liver health during challenging treatments. Thus, incorporating oregano may offer a supportive approach to mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy on the liver.

We sought to understand how oregano volatile oil (OVI) influences dysentery bacteria, specifically Shigella sonnei and Shigella flexneri. In an experimental setup, we infected the abdominal cavity of mice with these bacteria to gauge the antibacterial effects of OVI.

After administering OVI through gastric lavage, we made several interesting observations. The research indicated that OVI provided a protective effect on the infected mice, showcasing its germistatic and germicidal properties against these troublesome bacteria.

Furthermore, we determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) in a laboratory setting, supporting our findings that oregano oil could be a beneficial treatment against dysentery infections.

Our conclusion posits that oregano oil emerges as a viable natural remedy for combating dysentery-causing bacteria, contributing positively to the conversation about natural treatments for gastroenteritis.

SIBO has improved! My previous SIBO returned due to Gastroenteritis, and I suffered from a build-up of gas. After drinking this before breakfast and dinner, I was cured in about 4.5 days! I was mindful of low FOD in my meals and supplements. Since I also have diarrhoea, I will continue using other herbs for a while longer.

For me, oregano oil serves as an alternative to antibiotics, and I also use it alongside an antiparasitic program. It contains two potent compounds: carvacrol and thymol, both known for their strong antibacterial and antifungal properties. Extensive studies have shown carvacrol to aid in various health issues, including bacterial and fungal infections, digestive disorders, and cancers. It significantly assists with weight loss by enhancing metabolism.

I took this product as part of a cleansing program. It combines monolaurin, caprylic acid, and oregano oil, which are antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal. Caprylic cleanses intestinal microflora, alleviating bloating and fermentation. After taking probiotics, my intestines were populated with beneficial bacteria. The program effectively restored my intestinal function and improved my health, and the frequent rash on my face vanished. I consumed it three times daily with food for ten days.

We observed the health benefits of oregano essential oil, particularly its ability to combat food poisoning. The research focused on the oil derived from oregano grown in the Atacama Desert, aiming to identify both its chemical properties and its effectiveness against harmful bacteria commonly associated with foodborne illnesses.

In our analysis, we identified fifty different metabolites in the oregano oil, including key components like thymol and carvacrol. These compounds are known for their antimicrobial properties. The results from our antibacterial tests revealed that the oil showed significant effectiveness against various pathogenic and phytopathogenic bacteria, especially those linked to food poisoning.

Overall, the study highlights oregano oil's strong potential as a natural remedy in the food industry and agriculture, showcasing its ability to inhibit bacterial growth. Thus, it presents a promising option for enhancing food safety and possibly reducing cases of foodborne illnesses.

Our study focused on understanding the effects of marjoram, scientifically known as Origanum majorana, in treating ulcers. We assessed its antiulcerogenic activity using various models of gastric mucosal injury in rats, including stress-induced and chemically induced ulcers.

We discovered that administering the ethanol extract of marjoram at doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg significantly reduced the incidence of ulcers, as well as the overall gastric acid secretion. Interestingly, the marjoram extract not only aided in healing but also replenished the gastric wall mucus and nonprotein sulfhydryls, which were depleted due to ethanol exposure.

Additionally, we noted a decrease in malondialdehyde levels, a marker of lipid damage, highlighting the protective effects of marjoram. These findings were further confirmed by histopathological evaluations, supporting marjoram's role as a potential natural remedy for ulcers. Importantly, an acute toxicity assessment indicated a favorable safety profile for this extract in mice.
