Oregano oil combats ear infections
Antimicrobial activity of thyme oil, oregano oil, thymol and carvacrol against sensitive and resistant microbial isolates from dogs with otitis externa.
Directly related to dog treatment
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.

Oregano oil shows potential in ear infections
In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity of , , and Their Mixture against Clinical Isolates Responsible for Canine Otitis Externa.
Moderate relevance to treatment efficacy
We investigated whether essential oils, particularly oregano oil, could effectively treat ear infections in dogs. The study focused on testing the antimicrobial effects of oregano (Origanum vulgare), along with two other essential oils, against various bacteria and yeasts involved in canine ear infections.
In total, we tested these oils against 47 bacterial strains, such as Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas, and five strains of the yeast Malassezia pachydermatis. The results were promising, especially for the Gram-positive bacteria, which showed sensitivity to the oregano oil and other essential oils. Their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranged from 1.25% to less than 0.0195%, indicating effectiveness against these infections.
However, when it came to Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the oils were less effective, with MICs suggesting limited activity. Interestingly, the mixture of the three oils showed effectiveness against nearly all tested isolates, making it a potential alternative for treating stubborn cases of otitis externa where conventional treatments fall short.
Overall, our exploration of oregano and other essential oils in treating ear infections highlights their potential as valuable alternatives when faced with resistant infections in dogs.

Must have supplement
This supplement is a "must have on hand"! In my household, we take various supplements, but this is in my top three. Anytime someone in the family feels unwell, taking one of these capsules usually kicks it. Originally, we bought Oil of Oregano to combat ear infections, and it works! It also restores balance in intestinal flora. I highly recommend it!

Effective for fungal issues
Excellent. This product did exactly as promised. After reading numerous reviews, I had to try it for myself. I suffer from chronic sinusitis and allergies, alongside what many have described as candida overgrowth from antibiotics for years, resulting in itchy skin and acne. Despite spending a fortune on medications, symptoms always returned. Within days of using this product, my candida symptoms lessened. Over weeks, my sinus and allergy problems improved, my skin cleared up, and my mental clarity returned. I now recommend this product to anyone with fungal issues, including ear infections—it truly works!

Dog's ear infection cure
Helping my dog's ear infection among other things. I purchased this for myself due to digestive issues. While unsure of its effects on my gut, it did stave off a cold my kids had. However, it was shocking how well it worked for my dog, who had a persistent ear infection. After trying various remedies, one pill with his kibble did wonders—his ear, previously puffy and red, looks as though he never had an ear infection!
