Oregano is most widely known for it's strong herbal flavor that gets added into Italian and Latin cooking. It's broad fuzzy leaf is treasured around the world for it's taste and aluring scent. As part of the mint family, it pairs well with both savory and sweet recipes alike. What we know is that it tastes good and smells great. What you may not know is how it effects your body inside and out.
Oregano has been known, within the holistic healing community, as an incredible remedie for many skin and metabolic ailments. For example, did you know that Oregano oil can be used in the treatment of psoriasis and eczema? At the University of Tennessee, they are coming up with some breakthrough medicines that have Oil of Oregano directly infused into them to help treat these very common skin diseases.
Oregano is also a natural and very strong anti-bacterial. In very low doeses, it's been known to be an effective remedie against Staphylococcus bacteria which causes Strep throat. It's actually just as strong as penicillin and other antibiotic drugs on the market today. Internally it's been known to relieve allergies, cure thrust and sore throats and even boost your immune system.
So what happens when we put it directly onto the largest organ on our bodies... our skin? This is where the benefit of oregano really comes in. Aside from a natural remedie for eczema and psoriasis, it also relieves skin allergies, rashes, removes every day free radicles in the air when they touch our skin, and also protects us with it's anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Who would have thought that the popular cooking herb would have worked so well for so many things!
At Skin Candy, we use information and research just like this, to make natural and organic skin products that not only smell good, but that make us FEEL good too! We have recently began to grow Italian Broad Leaf Oregano in our own backyard and have already begun the process of creating a new Soap to add to our line. This new soap blend will contain our standard base of 100% veggie glycerin, vitamin E, Jojoba and Coconut Oils and added to it will be Mint Essence, Oilve Oil and of course our newest discovery... OREGANO!
A very important disclaimer to those that want to try pure Oil of Oregano as a remedie... If you are pregnant or nursing a baby, please do not use this oil internally. If you are taking blood thinners, Oil of Oregano already acts as a blood thinner and shouldn't be combined with any of your prescribed medication. And please, if you are going to start any kind of holistic option for any ailment, please consult with your doctor first.
We will be launching this new soap very soon, so please subscribe to our newsletters that will allow you to keep up with new products, videos and blog posts. Here's to your health and wellness!
