What is Docteur Valnet Green Oregano Organic Essential Oil used for?
Green oregano essential oil has powerful, broad-spectrum anti-infectious properties: bactericide, fungicide, viricide, parasiticide. It is a general tonic and stimulant. It is the most powerful antiseptic of all essential oils.
Oregano (Origanum heracleoticum - family Lamiaceae), commonly used as an aromatic condiment in traditional southern French cuisine, is reputed to improve digestion and relieve bloating. Green Oregano essential oil is mainly composed of carvacrol, paracymene and gamma-terpinene. These biochemical components confer significant and varied therapeutic properties.
Carvacrol is recognized for its broad-spectrum anti-infective action. It works by destroying the cell membrane of pathogens, leading to their elimination. The mechanism of action involves disruption of the membrane's structural integrity, leading to leakage of cellular contents and shutdown of the cell's vital functions. In addition, gamma-terpinene supports this activity, acting in a complementary way in the anti-infective process. The active compounds in Green Oregano oil can enhance the body's immune response, providing a better defense against various infectious agents.
Carvacrol demonstrates bactericidal activity against a range of pathogenic micro-organisms. It is particularly effective against gram-positive bacteria and certain gram-negative strains, although resistance has been noted in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Its spectrum of action also extends to viruses and parasites, making Green Oregano essential oil a therapeutic option for treating a variety of infections. Carvacrol 's fungicidal activity is effective against many strains of pathogenic fungi, including those responsible for mycosis in humans. Its ability to disrupt fungal cell membranes makes it useful in the management of cutaneous and systemic fungal infections.
As a monoterpene, gamma-terpinene exerts a stimulating influence on the body. This molecule could help improve general fitness and energy, possibly through increased blood circulation or other biochemical mechanisms yet to be elucidated. The use of this essential oil may facilitate expectoration in respiratory disorders, making it useful in the treatment of coughs and other symptoms associated with respiratory infections.
In short, Green Oregano essential oil stands out for its therapeutic versatility, and can be considered as an alternative or complement to conventional treatments for infections and other pathologies. However, its use should be undertaken with caution and under professional supervision, due to its potency and the risk of adverse effects, particularly in sensitive subjects or in the presence of particular conditions.
