Oil of Oregano

[MamaOnAMission]

Can oil of oregano help with yeast, fungus or bacteria in the gut???

Here is a site I found that might help. It looks like it can help with gut issues but it seems to have some side effects that you may want to check into.

 

Hope that helps.

Yeah, it's kind of caustic stuff, but there's an interesting paper out there by a group in Holland suggesting carvacrol (a volatile compound in oregano and simiilar herbs) can actually help goose the production of regulatory T cells (and damp down autoimmunity) when administered in the presence of an autoimmune trigger.

 

I tried using it once years ago as an antibiotic alternative for dysbiosis. The results were disappointing for that.
