Essential Oil
Oregano essential oil should be used with caution. Because it’s highly concentrated, it’s often diluted with a carrier oil before topical application. It’s not recommended for internal use without supervision from a qualified health professional.
Precautions and Safety
Although oregano is safe when used as a culinary ingredient, oregano supplements and oil can interact with medications and may not be suitable for everyone. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, individuals taking blood thinners, and those with certain medical conditions should consult a healthcare provider before using oregano-derived products.
