Helps Relieve Pain
Oregano oil is a natural pain reliever. It can help relieve pain that comes from arthritis, toothache, and migraines. The active ingredients in oregano oil are carvacrol and thymol, which are natural compounds with a wide range of medical applications, including pain relief.
The University of Maryland Medical Center notes that the most common use of oregano oil is as a natural painkiller. It is just as effective as over-the-counter painkillers at reducing both mild and severe pain, with the added benefit that it won’t cause potentially dangerous side effects like drowsiness or nausea. To use oregano oil to relieve pain, add two drops of the liquid extract to a glass of water and drink it. Alternatively, you can apply it topically by soaking a cotton ball in the oil and rubbing it directly onto the affected area.
