In this video, we’re going to talk about the most potent natural antibiotic—oregano essential oil. 

One of the big problems nowadays in healthcare is something called antibiotic resistance.

Antibiotic resistance is where the body starts resisting antibiotics, and the body needs stronger amounts to create the effect it needs. 

Oregano has incredible antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antimicrobial properties. I recommend oregano in the form of oregano essential oil. The active compound of oregano is called Thymol. 

There are several studies that show oregano is almost comparable to antibiotics for E.coli, Pseudomonas, STAPH, and other infections. It also has no side effects. 

Follow the directions on the label of the oregano oil you choose, and start with a small dose working your way up to more. Taking this along with garlic may also increase effectiveness.

I've been using oregano oil as an antibiotic for 15 years. Once I had a badly infected tooth, the dentist in TX wanted me to go on antibiotics for 2 weeks before they would pull the tooth. My jaw was swollen, very painful and I was going to be heading back to IN the next day. I had to sign a waiver for them to pull it right then. I was an hours drive to get to the truck stop close to my delivery point. Once there I pulled the gauze out, squirted the oregano oil in the hole and let it sit there as long as I could, swished it around in my mouth and spit it out. I filled the hole with oil again and hit the bunk. Next morning, no swelling, no bleeding, no pain and it was already healing up! No prescription antibiotic would heal so quickly! It's AMAZING stuff!!


YES, it tastes NASTY and burns a bit, but VERY effective! I can deal with that! Some people put the oil in capsules. I prefer having control over how much I use depending on what it's needed for. Oregano oil is the strongest antibiotic I know of and was always on the truck with me. The ingredients should be only oregano leaf oil and extra virgin olive oil (the carrier oil). ****CAUTION!!!**** KNOW HOW to use these oils BEFORE using. They are VERY powerful!!

Oregano oil is great. My wife grows Oregano in her herb garden. Want to tell you a story about Cloves. Natasha is Russian so when she speaks I listen. I got a terrible infection under a crown and went to the dentist. He said that I needed root canals on all three of the roots under the crown. He gave me the phone number of a specialist 90 miles away and estimated the cost around $6, 000.00. When I came home and told my wife she said "Are they crazy?" I said "I wasn't sure!" So then she said gargle with a 50% dilution of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. Then take a "Gum" soft pick and dip it into a paste with water and baking soda and clean between the teeth next to the infected crown. Then she said to chew on a whole Clove with the infected crown. I did this for 3 days and the terribly painful infection went away!

The part of oil of oregano that you want to function as your antibiotic is called Carvacrol, it disrupts the membrane on the bacteria you mentioned in the video. The thymol is actually something you want very low value of in your oil. While carvacrol is non-toxic, thymol has a high degree of toxicity (to the heart and to the liver), so please be aware of that. Ideally, the levels should be less than 2%. In a good oil of oregano capsule (easiest way to take it, you get less than 2% thymol and more than 80% carvacrol. You want to purchase your oil from a company that tests each batch they make for the accurate percentages. Some oils can have more than 35% thymol and that is concentration is poisonous).
Thymol is good against worms. Literally. It used to be the go to treatment for hookworm and today its used in preventing food spoilage because its great against mites and mold. Its also used as an antiseptic. Its also a good combo with antibiotics when fighting bacteria ingested with spoiled foodstuffs. However it is TOXIC to humans in high concentrations. Do NOT ingest oil of oregano high in percentage of Thymol. Zane Hellas is a good brand out of Greece.
I Use a mouthwash for nipping things in the bud when my throat hurts. That also helps against gingivitis btw, but you cannot mix oil and water. Oil and water doesnt mix no matter how much you want it to. Use a prepared mouthwash so that no part of your gums are exposed to 100% strong oil of oregano, as it will give you a chemical burn. If you have Sibo, taking oil of oregano 7 days out of each month is a great addiction to IF and healthy Keto. It helped me rid mine. I do not recommend continuing on with the oil unless you have reason to believe you need to, its a strong natural antibiotic and it does interfere with your own biome. There is NO evidence, NONE whatsoever, to show that oil of oregano can distinguish between good bacteria and probiotic ones. It works by disolving the membranes of bacteria, and because of its INDISCRIMINATION, its actually a great oil for SIBO. But its not a smart nanite. It wont distinguish, and its a very alternative fact to say otherwise.


If you are looking for something more longterm and less disruptive to your own gut health, try taking curcumin with your meals. Its a wonderful antiinflammatory.

My late sister, Joy, was a chiropractor since the 50s in Montreal, PQ [Grad of CMCC in Toronto, ON], but also treated her patients w/herbal concoctions, acupuncture, etc. While studying at CMCC, she also worked part-time for a chiro AND an herbalist!!! She practiced 50 years less 1 week before passing away. She was only about 5' tall and a petite powerhouse!!! She'd never send anyone away and treated all sizes...which was never an obstacle to her! If someone could not afford treatments, she'd still take care of them until they were totally healed at no cost!!!
I sure do LOVE your posts and all the wonderful info to teach/show us how to be healthier and productive in life!!! Many MEGA KUDOS!!!

I grew up with oregano plants in our house. My grandparents had been using it to cure coughs and best for mosquito bites and minor wounds just wash the leaves pat it try then squeeze the oregano juice..still use it in our home better than synthetic drugs

[greenskeeper]

5 drops every morning with olive leaf extract also in a couple ounces of water. Doing this for years now.

I just love when doctors recommend natural remedies instead of big pharma's products. This says alot about you Dr Berg. I was a fan before this video and I'm even a bigger fan after watching it. I would love to see more videos like this.

Oil of oregano cured terrible Tonsillitis, when 3 rounds of antibiotics failed me.

[dlallen]

Sinus infection. Ear infection. Sore throat. Ear ache is off the charts and travels down my jaw & neck and swells my lymph node. This has all been worse since I had cancer. My mama has chronic uti's - makes her week & confused. I don't think she has dementia as much as back to back infections. 😢 Praying this helps!!

[stevenuzzell]

A friend of mine told me to try Oregano. She used it to fight the flu. I use a lot of spices and herbs with oregano and basil leaves being among my favorites. I think Oregano helped me to recover from pneumonia.

[kellichristophersen]

Such great news! I actually work for an essential oil company and oregano oil is a part of my collection! I am really appreciating your clips on intermittent fasting and keto as I am making some adjustments in my kitchen and my thinking! A surgeon spiritual friend of mine I highly respect recommended I check you out on YouTube and I really appreciate you!!

[rachkate]

Clove oil is good too- antibacterial and antifungal as well.

[waltirvin]

Hello Dr Berg. I am 71 and take no synthetic pharmaceutical medications. I manage things like blood pressure and the other things using herbs and minerals diet nutrition and exercise. It works well. Throughout our pandemic I did not take one shot and have tested eight times and I'm very healthy. It's the result of research taking notes and verifying information using at least three sources if possible. Thank you for all you do.

Used oil of Oregano when other antibiotics did not work for Lymes disease. Saved me!

[WisePhoenixRising]

i knew about the powers of Oil of Oregano and we even had our students experiment with it in the lab, putting all kinds of germs on agar dishes, etc. The OO killed everything much faster and spread further than any of the standard antibiotics. So when 'C' started I bought a bunch for the whole family. My daughter got the virus last week and I gave her that along with 3 other natural remedy formulas and she said she was feeling better the next day. I have started taking it for myself for many reasons....thanks for the confirmation!

[volleyballgurl]

As a kid my dad would give this to us when we got sick, along with Echinacea and Goldenseal. Great combo. :)

[billyabbas]

The one MISSING piece of information from this video is the way Oregano Oil should be taken or consumed or applied. Examples of when to take Oregano Oils...when not to take them. Is it safe for children and if so how young? I believe a more thorough video would be helpful Dr. Berg. Thank you for putting such a video out to spread the knowledge of health and wellness worldwide.

The fact that you asked me to evaluate my thoughts on this video, and not asking me to "subscribe and click the ring-bell-butten" gives me a trustworthy feeling that you do this because you know your information, and want to share it - and NOT because you need subscribers to keep you going. Besides that; i like the handwritten lecture structure and the fact that you can draw directly, also the tone and the vibe of this video is very casual and informative. Thank you for that.

I’ve been using oregano oil for years and years, I’ve survived death 5 times, came right back, I got struck by the lightning and nothing happened to me, I swam in a snake and shark infested waters, not even a scratch!! And I’m 135 years old!!! People tell me I look 30!
Oil of oregano is amazing and it’s clearly working for me!!

Ok jokes aside lol, I’ve been using oregano oil for about a month now. Idk what it’s doing for me honestly but, the reason I started using it is because I developed a very strong craving for oregano. I sprinkle the herb on EVERYTHING, and I love the taste of the oil.
Any time I’ve ever craved something this strongly, it meant my body needed it for whatever reason and I truly believe our inner wisdom speaks to us when something could be wrong and the cure comes in form of cravings.

I’ll keep using it, I’m sure it’s doing wonders for me even though I’m not 100% sure why I want it so much.

[GingeryR]

I’ve been using this for years. It really works. Brands I use are young living and Melaleuca
