Supports a Healthy Liver
As the body’s main detoxification organ, the liver helps process drugs, alcohol, environmental toxins, and other harmful substances. But it can also become inflamed when overloaded with chemicals from these sources. Oregano oil can help support liver health by reducing inflammation and supporting its ability to filter toxins.
Oregano oil contains carvacrol, which has been shown to reduce inflammation in the liver. In a study published in Phytotherapy Research in 2016, rats given carvacrol showed improved levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) compared to those given only olive oil or no treatment. The researchers observed it after exposure to carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Carvacrol is vital in GSH synthesis through Nrf2-dependent pathway activation.
