Oregano Oil
Oregano is an herb from the Lamiaceae family with green leaves and purple flowers. It is widely used to enhance food flavor alongside mint, basil, and thyme. Aside from its use in the kitchen, oregano is also popular in traditional medicine. It has been used to treat several respiratory conditions like cough, asthma, and bronchitis. In Asian countries, oregano tea relieves pain and discomfort from indigestion, diarrhea, and IBM. In addition, oregano extract is traditionally used in China and the Philippines to treat menstrual disorders, PCOS, and infertility.
Recent studies also explored oregano’s anti-inflammatory and antibacterial potential. The impressive effects of oregano extract on animals paved the way for several successful human studies. Experts found that oregano has excellent antiviral, antioxidant, anti-fungal, and pain-killing properties, which help treat genital warts.
Patients with genital warts can use diluted oregano oil to terminate genital warts. Several observational studies also highlighted that oregano oil could also prevent genital warts from spreading and growing back. However, since oregano oil is potent, pregnant ladies are advised to avoid it until four months postpartum to avoid irritation and complications.
