Oregano Side Effects: Oregano is a highly active oil that can be a strong skin irritant - use with care. Avoid in pregnancy Does oil of oregano have any hazardous, unwanted effects? Natural does not mean safe. There are some reports of gastrointestinal upset with oil of oregano. There are also reports of allergic reactions. There is no evidence to suggest that oil of oregano, used at high (medicinal) amounts, may be used safely in pregnant or breast feeding women. However, when used in cooking, and as part of a regular diet, there is also no evidence that causes harm in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Animal studies show that if you give enough carvacrol, it will kill, though. This oil has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties because of the potent substances it contains. Thymol is one of the active ingredients of oregano oil and it has the potential of being toxic at high doses. This essential oil can be useful in many ways, as long as it is properly used. It contains very active chemicals that can kill bacteria, fungus and parasites. Oil of oregano is a natural organic product therefore our bodies should be able to process it easily. However, its anti-microbial properties can work against you if you take it improperly. The presence of active agents that can kill pathogens should be a clue to us that we should handle it carefully, not carelessly. oil of oregano Side Effects Of Oregano Oil It is true that oregano oil is a very valuable substance that can be effectively used as an alternative medicine. But we need to understand that it also has some negative side effects. Here then are some of the adverse side effects of oil of oregano that you need to be aware of and how you can mitigate them. 1) Burning sensation – when directly applied to the skin, you will feel a burning sensation especially when it is applied in the genital area and in your mucous membranes. You can avoid this by diluting oreganol with olive oil or coconut oil. 2) Warm tingling sensation in the mouth when taken orally – the typical oral dosage is 2 to 4 drops of oregano oil. If this happens, just take the minimum dosage. 3) Upset stomach – if the oil is not properly diluted, you will suffer stomach troubles. Instead of using 100% oreganol, dilute it with virgin olive oil or coconut oil. There is also oregano oil mixed with other edible oils that you can buy. You can also take oil of oregano capsules if you encounter this problem. 4) Allergies – if you are allergic to thyme, marjoram, oregano or similar plants, you need to avoid oregano oil. 5) Oil of oregano may inhibit the absorption of iron – therefore if you are taking iron supplements, seek the advice of your doctor before taking oil of oregano. 6) You can experience vomiting if you take it internally. 7) It may also cause rashes on your skin if taken internally. - See more at: http://www.oiloforegano.co/oil-of-oregano-side-effects.html#sthash.W3AjQoHC.dpuf
