like .. which Oregano should I use. The answers are below.

 

Y'all have a good one .. and keep smiling. :-)

- - - - - - - - - - - FACTS ON THE ORIGANUMS - - - - - - - - - -

 

All of the Origanums except the Origanum dubium Linalool Type are

Carvacrol-rich and Carvacrol is the active therapeutic component most

people seek.

 

Origanum vulgare is the best seller though its not the only therapeutic

Origanum. Maybe people think its the best because there is one company

making some sound (and some ridiculous) health claims and selling it as

" Oil of Oregano " in a 10% Oregano/90% Olive Oil mixture for as much as

$39.95 per 2/3 ounce bottle. So people see mine as being less costly.

With mine, one can mix their own and create a dozen bottles of the

$39.95 product for less than half the price. And .. for a fact that

company is NOT selling ONLY Origanum vulgare .. I know their supplier

and they are producing as much Origanum dubium Carvacrol as they are

anything else.

 

Origanum onites has been the next best seller and that might be due to

some things I've written on it and a portion of the lecture I gave at an

AT Conference in Toronto, Canada in September 1999. I presented some

research conducted by five prominent professors in Turkey using Origanum

onites in a project involving lung tumors in rats, using three different

groups and three treatments, one of them being normal cancer treatments.

I presented the study, showed the audience colored micro slides of the

lung tissues. The Origanum onites not only stopped the growth but also

caused recession of the growths! The lung tissue was reverting to its

previously normal pink and clear state!! I made it clear that this is

not an indication that it will cure cancer in humans but it shows a

great need for further research and such research is ongoing.

 

Origanum dubium Carvacrol is the next best seller, possibly because it

appears to have a milder odor than the others. Turks generally prefer

it for home medication.

 

Contrary to the many marketing claims being made by certain fad sales

companies .. the Origanum onites and Origanum dubium Carvacrol have the

exact same therapeutic properties as does Origanum vulgare. In fact,

they are not all selling Origanum vulgare anyway .. the world supply is

not sufficient to supply all those who make such claims. To take it a

bit further .. I have supplied companies who make claims of selling only

Origanum vulgare .. but that is NOT all they purchased from me.

 

Origanum dubium (Linalool type) is in its own class .. a very nice odor

and dual therapeutic value. It's high in linalool, as is lavender, and

high in carvacrol, as is oregano. It has healing properties of oregano

and lavender .. so much so that the common name in Turkey is Lavanta

Kekik (Lavender Oregano.) It's endemic to Turkey - not found elsewhere

and even here it's only found in a very small corner of the Southeast.

When people get samples of it from us, they buy it. I normally use it

for inhalation and it is great for diffusion - I love the odor.

 

I prefer either Origanum vulgare, Origanum onites or Origanum dubium

Carvacrol for kicking Big Bad Bug Butts (cold, flu, sinuses) but I do

not make recommendations to others on ingestion of essential oils. I

recommend buyers consult their doctor prior to this manner of usage.

 

For diffusion any one will do the job but just for inhalation, I'd go

with the Origanum dubium (Linalool type) because I love the odor.

 

All have proven antiseptic, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-spasmodic

properties and they are believed to be capable of stimulating the immune

system .. which .. assists the body to overcome viral infections, which

puts the virus in retrograde .. stops its reproduction so it goes back

into defilade position.

 

So - one can choose based on the above descriptions of each oil.
