Oregano oil has been treasured since ancient Greece and Rome for its powerful healing properties — and today, modern research is finally catching up with tradition. In this episode of Chasing Eden: Rediscovering Your Body’s Divine Design, we dive deep into the history, science, and practical uses of this remarkable natural remedy.Rich in compounds like carvacrol and thymol, oregano oil demonstrates strong antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Studies show it can disrupt harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, support digestion, and help fight yeast overgrowth and other microbial imbalances. Externally, diluted oregano oil is used for skin support, wound care, and respiratory health, thanks to its potent bioactive profile.The episode also highlights a recent viral science-fair project where a young student found that oregano oil outperformed amoxicillin in killing bacteria in a petri dish — an intriguing discovery that aligns with existing lab research, while reminding listeners that natural remedies should complement, not replace, medical care.Listeners learn how to choose a high-purity, third-party-tested oregano oil, what to look for in carvacrol percentages, how to use it safely internally and externally, and why essential oil vs. oil-of-oregano matters. The podcast closes with a devotional reminder: when we use the plants God created with wisdom and gratitude, we honor the body He designed and entrusted to us.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
