May Help Fight Bacteria

Certain chemicals in oregano have powerful antimicrobial effects. In one test-tube investigation, oregano essential oil inhibited the development of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, two bacterium species that can cause illness. Another test-tube investigation discovered that oregano was effective against 23 different types of bacteria.

Furthermore, a test-tube investigation examined the antibacterial properties of essential oils of oregano, sage, and thyme. Oregano, along with thyme, was one of the most effective essential oils against germs. The majority of the current study has been conducted in test tubes using high doses of this plant. As a result, more study is required to evaluate how these findings may influence humans.
