2. Essential Oil (Diluted Only!)
- Internal use: Take only food-grade oregano oil, diluted in a carrier oil or capsule — and only under medical guidance.
- External use: Blend a drop or two with a carrier oil like olive or coconut oil, and apply it to small skin areas for targeted relief (never on broken or irritated skin).
Important Note: Always consult a healthcare provider before using oregano essential oil, especially for internal use.
Use with Care
Natural doesn’t always mean risk-free. Keep these precautions in mind:
- Avoid large amounts during pregnancy.
- Be cautious if you’re on blood thinners or diabetes medications — oregano may interact.
- Never apply undiluted essential oil directly to the skin or ingest it without professional guidance.
