Oregano Oil has been hailed for its health properties that have been being used for centuries.  The primary chemical components of Oregano is carvacrol, a phenol that possesses antioxidant properties when ingested. Due to its high phenol content, caution should be taken when inhaling or diffusing Oregano; only one to two drops is needed. Additionally, Oregano should be diluted with a carrier oil when applied to the skin. One drop taken internally each day can help maintain healthy immune function; Oregano can be taken more frequently as needed to further support the immune system.* In addition to being a popular cooking spice, Oregano also supports healthy digestion and respiratory function when taken internally.* Oregano’s aroma acts as an enhancer and equalizer in essential oil blends.  You can learn more about doTerra Oregano Oil by visiting my website. 

Our dog Hemi, has a sebaceous cyst on her back. She has had it since she was a puppy and recently it began to grow due to infection. The area filled with infected liquid and had to be drained. Her vet gave her a round of antibiotics and they didn’t do much so they gave her another round of antibiotics.  When that prescription was finished her cyst was still needing to be drained daily. With the advice of a good friend and doTerra wellness advocate who introduced me to doTerra, I put 1 drop of oregano in her gallon water jug I keep in the fridge. Within 3 days the cyst was dry and no longer producing the infected liquid. After 5 days I stopped adding the oregano oil and about 4 days later the cyst had infected liquid again. I put her back on the oil and in 2 days it was all good again.

I consulted our vet and she said that if the oil is helping she sees no reason to not continue using the oil if it gives better results than the prescribed antibiotic.
