Oregano Oil
Oregano oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves of the oregano plant (Origanum vulgare). Oregano oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its wide range of health benefits. These benefits are primarily due to the presence of a compound called carvacrol in oregano oil. Carvacrol is thought to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties.
In terms of pneumonia, oregano oil may help by reducing lung inflammation and clearing out mucus. Additionally, animal studies have shown that oregano oil may help fight off the bacteria that cause pneumonia. However, it’s important to note that more research is needed to confirm these effects in humans.
There are a few different ways to use oregano oil for pneumonia. One popular method is adding a few drops of oregano oil to a diffuser and inhaling the vapors several times daily. A few drops of oregano oil can also be added to a warm bath and soak for 20 to 30 minutes. Another option is to mix 2 to 3 drops of oregano oil with one tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil and massage it onto the chest.
