Oregano is also rich in antibacterial properties, including thymol and carvacrol oils. Research has shown that the compound of these two oils stops the growth of many types of bacteria.

Oregano oil is a big help to me. I am diabetic and susceptible to all possible infections. I used to use various antibiotics to bring my normal life back to normal but antibiotics have caused me even bigger problems. The infections would calm down a bit so they would duplicate and literally drive me insane. With the recommendation, I started using oregano oil in capsules and simply returned to normal life. I recommend it to everyone because it was created for everyone.
