Greek oregano honey shows antibacterial promise
We explored the antibacterial properties of rare Greek oregano honey against specific strains of bacteria linked to gastric conditions like ulcers and gastritis. Our study involved 14 distinct bacterial strains, with six isolated from patients with gastric ulcers and eight from those suffering from clinical gastritis.

By exposing these strains to various concentrations of oregano honey, we observed significant inhibition zones, especially with bacteria from gastric ulcers. Interestingly, these strains showed some resistance compared to those from gastritis cases. Even when challenged with common antibiotics, the results were consistent, suggesting the honey's potential effectiveness.

We prepared extracts of oregano honey using different organic solvents and found that hexane and chloroform extracts demonstrated the strongest antibacterial action. Notably, pure oregano honey and certain extracts also inhibited urease production, an important factor in bacterial virulence.

Overall, our findings indicate that Greek oregano honey could be a valuable traditional remedy, potentially offering therapeutic benefits against gastritis and ulcers. This may explain its popularity among locals who recognize its medicinal properties.

Improves microflora
This product helps my husband significantly with his gastritis. The oil targets Helicobacter pylori effectively. In capsule form, it is safe to consume, as the pure oil is overly bitter. It enhances the stomach's microflora, making it an excellent choice for our needs.

People with chronic gastritis should carefully consider taking this oil. Prescribed alongside an antibiotic for chronic pyelonephritis, I experienced stomach pain by the evening of the first day. I tried taking it with meals per the instructions, but after 17 days, I had to stop due to an exacerbation of my gastritis.

I felt unwell after taking this supplement; I experienced fatigue and stomach pain after just one capsule. This may be due to the ginger and fennel additives exacerbating my gastritis. I prefer ordering the regular version without these additives.

Not suitable for me
Despite hearing wonderful things about oregano capsules, they did not suit me at all. After each dose, my gastritis flared, causing nausea, and I had to discontinue using them. The capsules are easy to swallow, but the adverse effects were unacceptable.

I purchased this for its effectiveness against tapeworms. While it worked better than pharmaceuticals, I found my gastritis and pancreatitis symptoms worsened. It's a strange trade-off for such positive results with the tapeworm.

The medicine is incredibly strong; my stomach hurts. Those who suffer from gastritis should be cautious, as I experienced stomach cramps for 1 to 2 hours after eating, even after having a small meal, making it difficult to sleep.
