Oregano Herbal Remedy

Oregano is a well-known culinary herb that doubles as a powerful medicinal plant. Native to the Mediterranean, it is packed with essential oils, antioxidants, and compounds like carvacrol and thymol that give it potent antimicrobial and immune-boosting properties. Beyond the kitchen, oregano has been traditionally used to support respiratory, digestive, and overall wellness.

Medicinal Uses

• Respiratory Support – Helps relieve coughs, congestion, colds, flu, bronchitis, and sinus infections by loosening mucus and soothing the airways
• Digestive Health – Stimulates appetite, reduces bloating and gas, and helps balance gut bacteria
• Immune System Support – Antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal actions strengthen the body’s defenses against infections
• Anti-Inflammatory – Eases muscle and joint pain, arthritis, and inflammatory conditions
• Urinary Health – Traditionally used to help with urinary tract infections due to its antimicrobial qualities
• Skin & Topical Uses – Can be applied externally (diluted) for fungal infections, wounds, and insect bites

Precautions

• Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless under professional supervision
• Strong essential oil forms should always be diluted before topical use to prevent skin irritation
• May interact with blood-thinning medications – seek advice if on long-term prescriptions
• Excessive internal use may upset the stomach in sensitive individuals

Oregano is far more than a kitchen spice – it is a potent herbal remedy with powerful antimicrobial, immune-boosting, and anti-inflammatory benefits. Supporting respiratory, digestive, and urinary health, oregano is a versatile natural ally for everyday wellness.

Available Formats: Elixir, Tincture, and Glycetract

We offer this herbal remedy in three different preparations to suit a variety of health needs, taste preferences, and sensitivities. Whether you're looking for a traditional alcohol-based tincture, a sweet and nourishing elixir (also contains alcohol), or a gentle alcohol-free glycetract, you can choose the form that’s right for you or your loved ones.

Glycetract (Glycerite)

Glycetracts are alcohol-free extracts made using vegetable glycerin and water. They are ideal for those who are sensitive to alcohol, including children, pets, or those with liver conditions. While they are not always as potent as tinctures, they are still effective and particularly well-suited for milder conditions or long-term support.

Best for: Children, pets, those avoiding alcohol, or for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding (with practitioner advice).

Elixir

Elixirs are traditional herbal preparations made using a blend of alcohol, Glycerin, and water. They are often used when you want both therapeutic action and a palatable, sweetish flavour, especially for those who prefer not to taste the bitterness of herbs.

Best for: Adults and children - ages 1+, general wellness and those who dislike bitter tinctures.

Tincture

Tinctures are highly concentrated herbal extracts made using alcohol as a solvent. This is one of the most effective ways to extract the full medicinal spectrum of most herbs, including alkaloids, essential oils, and resins.

Best for: Adults or those looking for fast, potent results. Not ideal for those sensitive to alcohol, reformed alcoholics or for young children under 1.

By purchasing and using these tinctures, you accept full responsibility for their use and agree to do so at your own discretion. For any questions about these products, please reach out to us prior to purchasing.

Which One Should I Choose?

• Want the strongest, fastest effect? Choose a Tincture.
• Prefer a sweeter, more nourishing option? Go for an Elixir.
• Need something gentle and alcohol-free? Opt for a Glycetract.
