Distilled essential oil
Recently, the distilled oil of wild oregano has been touted as a treatment for infections, cancer, candida, and other diseases. Although no doubt active as an antiseptic and immune-activator, it is not a panacea.
Cautions
Like all essential oils, or volatile essences from aromatic plants, oregano oil is highly concentrated. Do not use more than a drop or two internally for one dose.
