Oregano essential oil is definitely a household staple! This incredible oil touts amazing benefits such as immune system support, assisting the body's response to inflammation and injury, digestive health, liver support and is a powerful antioxidant.

So much of our modern life creates free radicals within the body - both naturally occurring free radicals and those from environmental exposure. Adding antioxidants into our wellness routine provides the body with tools for repairing cellular damage at a DNA level. This is definitely something we want to have!!

One of the most widely known uses of Oregano essential oil is its ability to support the body's response to inflammation and infection, providing additional ‘boots on the ground' for the innate immune system to fight off whatever is causing imbalance. This makes Oregano a great addition to a wellness roller or supplement routine! Fun fact: oregano oil has even been used by farmers to support healthy, disease free animals!

PROVIDING A STRONG IMMUNE DEFENSE: OREGANO, THYME, CINNAMON BARK & CLOVE by Dr. Cole Woolley

“A good defense keeps the enemies wondering about your strength. Many fortresses have been successfully defended by periodically showing a strong defense. Most attacks by harmful bacteria are weak attacks. A single bacterial organism can replicate into two identical organisms in 20-30 minutes. One organism may seem harmless, maybe even two; but they just keep replicating by binary fission (forming two identical organisms from one) until their numbers are significant.

Showing a strong defense from time to time can help fight off the large initial attacks. From time-to-time your human immune defenses become compromised by inadequate sleep, unhealthy diet, and poor physical conditioning. Fortunately, you can use a variety of defensive essential oils to keep a strong show of force.

These four essential oils remind me of the East High School football offensive line this past year. Ranked #1 in Utah and ranked 23rd nationally. The offensive line was massive. They moved as a unit. They held hands as they approached the defense. They looked like a solid wall. I would have been squashed by these guys. They knew they were going to win. That's what these four essential oils are like – winners.”

BACKGROUND

Native to Mediterranean Europe and Western Asia, oregano is a compact flowering shrub in the mint family. Also known as wild marjoram, it was traditionally used as a culinary herb, adding a deeply herbaceous flavor and aroma to dishes. Oregano essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the plant and contains the powerful constituent carvacrol.

In the early 1100s, Oregano essential oil was listed in Hildegard's Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly regarded Benedictine herbalist Hildegard of Bingen.

KEY CONSTITUENTS

Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them sprecic health-supporting properties

Carvacrol: this constituent provides incredible benefits including immune health (overall and digestive), antioxidants, and may support the body's ability to heal.

Oregano is also high in phenols, so inhaling directly from the bottle will provide a very strong aroma and may irritate the skin if applied without a carrier oil.

This powerful oil is a key component of immune supportive blends and supplements such as ImmuPower, Inner Defense, and the Raindrop Massage Technique.

PRODUCT & EMOTIONS

The warm, herbaceous scent of Oregano essential oil can help create a sense of security emotionally. It has such wonderful properties to support our physical body, that the aroma alone evokes a sense of peace and safety.

When our physical body is below the wellness line, it absolutely affects our mental and emotional state. Pain, discomfort, feeling run down… it is exhausting. Adding in supportive oils like Oregano can help the mind feel secure and at peace as the body begins to heal, and often even paves the way for physical healing to occur.

PRODUCT OPTIONS

Oregano Essential Oil

Oregano Vitality Essential Oil

OREGANO VITALITY

Oregano Vitality essential oil is the same essential oil as Oregano. It is labeled differently for internal use and can be added to foods, taken in an empty vegetable capsule and used as a dietary supplement.

DAILY HABITS WITH OREGANO

Oregano is a hot oil just like Peppermint, Thieves and Lemongrass, meaning it can be very warming to the skin and should typically be diluted with a carrier oil. The feet are a great place to start applying essential oil because the skin isn't as sensitive and all of our body systems end in the feet.

Diffuse Oregano at home to create a comforting environment while cleansing the air of odors.

Make a Supercharged Household Cleaner with Oregano:

16oz glass spray bottle

1-2 capfuls Thieves Household Cleaner

10 drops Oregano

5 drops Thyme, Cinnamon Bark, Clove

Fill with filtered or distilled water

Use on any and all surfaces as desired for an extra boost!

Add Oregano to V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex and massage it into fatigued legs and feet after a long day and onto muscles after a workout.

Give your muscles and your immune system some TLC with an Oregano Detox Bath:

1 cup magnesium flakes or salts

5 drops Oregano essential oil

3 drops Aroma Siez essential oil (optional)

Add oils to magnesium flakes then run hot water over the cup and into the bath

Make a daily wellness blend to use a few times a day:

Wellness Roller:

10 drops each Oregano, Frankincense, Thieves, Lemon

Top with carrier

Roll over the spine, lymph nodes, bottom of the feet.

Make a Raindrop Roller to use daily or use acutely when defenses need to be reinforced. If using acutely, use multiple times an hour for the first hour, then use at least every hour.

Raindrop Roller:

10-15 drops each Oregano, Basil, Thyme, Marjoram, Cypress, Wintergreen, Peppermint, Aroma Siez, Lavender or Valor

Optional: 2-3 pumps OrthoEase Massage oil

Fill with carrier of choice

Add Oregano Vitality to your dishes in small amounts by touching a toothpick to the oil and then touching the toothpick to your food for extra flavoring.

Put 1 drop of Oregano Vitality and 1 drop of V-6 or olive oil in an empty vegetarian capsule and take it as a dietary supplement daily to help support a healthy immune system.

Add a drop of Oregano Vitality to a green smoothie to help cleanse the digestive system.

ESSENTIAL OILS

When you have a cough or cold or feel one coming on, you just want to be comfortable – especially if you still have to work, travel, or take care of your children or loved ones! (click on the individual oil pictures to learn more about the oil)

Thieves Essential Oil Blend:

This blend is our go-to for all things immune system related! It's the blend infused into the chest rub and cough drops we just talked about – and for good reason! We love to apply and diffuse this blend, add Thieves Vitality to a mug of echinacea tea, or add it to epsom salts for an immune supporting detox bath!

Frankincense Essential Oil:

Frankincense is an immune and respiratory powerhouse! This historical oil has been used for centuries for health. Apply it with Thieves, Lemon, R.C. or Purification to the chest and back, add a few drops to the Thieves Chest Rub when you apply, add Frankincense to epsom salts for a detox bath, and diffuse this oil when you're feeling down. Get it in, on and around you as much as possible!

Lemon Essential Oil:

Lemon is a wonderful oil for soothing cough and creating comfort in times of congestion. Diffuse it, apply it with Frankincense and Thieves Chest Rub, add a few drops of Lemon Vitality to echinacea tea, and add Lemon to detox baths. Lemon is high in limonene, a constituent highly regarded for its immune system support.

R.C. Essential Oil Blend:

Standing for Respiratory Comfort, R.C. essential oil blend is a gentle eucalyptus blend that we love for soothing and comforting the respiratory system. Diffuse, apply, and add this oil to detox baths as much as possible. This is a great choice for little ones too!

Purification Essential Oil Blends:

This purifying blend is another favorite for immune and respiratory needs. Containing Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Myrtle and other purifying oils, it makes a great addition to your comfort routine during times of cough or cold. Diffuse, apply, and add to bath salts.

Raindrop Technique Collection: This curated set of essential oils is a powerful tool for promoting health, wellness and vitality – both proactively and for acute needs since the oils included can be incredible tools for healing! This collection features nine essential oils with immune and respiratory support properties. We love them for making rollers and adding to detox baths!

Thieves chest rub & cough

THIEVES CHEST RUB

A must-have for every medicine cabinet, Thieves Chest Rub is a 100% plant-based alternative for over-the-counter cough and congestion relief. This natural chest rub soothes sniffles, coughs, and congestion for the whole family with a powerful blend of essential oils and natural, plant-based ingredients.Plus the easy-to-use bottle doesn't even require you to get your hands messy!! The formula is free of petroleum, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, synthetic perfumes or dyes, artificial colors, or preservatives and still packs an incredible punch when it comes to cough and cold! Pure ingredients and all the power of Thieves kicking that chest congestion to the curb? We will take some of that!

Sadly, conventional chest rubs are filled with synthetic additives and diluents, and even the ‘natural' options are less than ideal. Many options use petroleum as a base. Petroleum (petrolatum) is often not fully refined in the US, which means it can be contaminated with toxic chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.Many ‘natural' chest rubs also contain impure essential oils or other lower-grade components that don't meet the same standards as the ingredients found in Young Living products. The active ingredient in the most popular over the counter chest rub is actually a synthetic version of Ravintsara essential oil! And we are always going to choose the original over a synthetic copy, especially when it comes to our health and our family's health!

THIEVES COUGH DROPS

Get natural, quick, and safe cough, congestion, and sore throat relief Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops! These are a staple in our cough and cold toolbox. They are easy to keep at home or take on the go, made with naturally derived ingredients, taste great, and work wonders!

Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops are minty, spicy, and sweet without processed sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives found in conventional cough drops. Infused with Cinnamon Bark, Peppermint, and Lemon essential oils, these menthol-based drops make soothing coughs and colds simple and tasty.

THIEVES HARD LOZENGES

Infused with Young Living's signature Thieves essential oil blend of Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Lemon essential oils, these lozenges are one of the things we reach for to keep our immune systems firing on a daily basis! The Thieves Hard Lozenges are a sugar-free dietary supplement to add to your daily wellness regimen with more of a cinnamon taste than a menthol one.We use these daily when we need a lozenge, when we travel to bolster our immune systems, and sometimes in place of the Thieves Cough Drops when we are out or if someone doesn't want the strong menthol taste of the drops (but it's that menthol that helps open the airways and soothe the throat!).
