Note:
Use only the edible type of oil of oregano emulsified in olive oil. None
of our products are designed to diagnose, prevent, treat, or cure any medical
conditions. See your physician first.
Consumer Beware!
Educated consumers must know what is real oregano oil and what is false or
fraudulent. According to researchers, true oregano has the following properties:
a. It is never farm raised.
b. If exposed to light it will turn an amber color.
c. It is extremely pungent.
d. While it is hot or warm to taste, it will never harm sensitive tissues.
e. It is relatively expensive to produce (from the wild) and purchase.
f. Chemically, it is devoid of thymol.
g. It is never from a thymus species.
h. It is never clear in color.
i. It is never from Spain or Mexico.
j. It must be guaranteed wild.
k. It must be guaranteed edible and screened for edibility.
l. It should be emulsified (mixed) with an edible oil; preferably extra virgin olive oil.
m. It must be guaranteed to be free of any synthetic material.
Beware, also, of purveyors who label products "not for internal use" and
then tell you it is okay to use it as long as you dilute it with oil. Plus,
true oregano comes from the deep Mediterranean and this fact must be guaranteed
by the company in writing.
Here is a simple test: Hold some of the oil in clear glass up to bright
light. If it is totally clear, it cannot be a true oregano oil. If it is
dark brown or reddish brown, it might be aged oregano oil, but it is likely
thyme oil. If it is slightly amber (if it is in olive oil it will be greenish
amber), it is a true oregano. If such a product is exposed to sunlight over
a prolonged period, it will darken in color. Another test is to simply read
the label. If the label says thymus or Thymus capitus (capitatus), it cannot
be a deep Mediterranean oregano. If the label says from Spain or Mexico,
it cannot be a Mediterranean wild oregano.
These are the rules for smart shopping. As always, when it comes to your body seek the best!
Oil of Oregano
North American Herb & Spice was the first company in the American market
to introduce edible Oil of Oregano. We are the oregano experts! This was
the result of extensive research and the personal experiences of the company's
founders. To be edible, this essential oil must be made only from wild, mountain
grown Mediterranean oregano; free of all chemicals and pesticides. It, also,
has to be emulsified in a carrier oil such as extra virgin olive oil, which
is used by North American Herb & Spice in its oil of oregano. The oregano
we use is the real, 100% Mediterranean oregano, guaranteed to be handpicked
in the pristine, untarnished wilderness. We even pay the villagers to limit
picking to preserve and protect the plants. Our oil is produced by old fashioned
cold pressing and steam distillation. We use no chemicals to extract it.
We take price in our oil being the only oregano product on the market extensively
researched. Studies conducted by Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.,
have shown that the wild, mountain grown oregano used by North American Herb
& Spice is an excellent antifungal agent, completely killing Candida
Albicans in concentrations as minimal as 0.25 mg/ml. It also is much safer
to use that popular antifungal drugs on the market. Further studies are pending.
For additional information on oregano and other herbs, research from around
the world is available through your local library. Many studies demonstrating
the strong antioxidant, broad antimicrobial and even painkilling properties
of oregano have been published in scientific journals. Perhaps the most complete
resource available on oregano that is easily understandable by the lay person
is the took "The Cure is in the Cupboard: How to Use Oregano for Better
Health, by Dr. Cass Ingram.
We have been followed by other companies trying to copy our success with
oil of oregano. May of them label their product "Oregano" or use the Latin
name "Oreganum Vulgare" to make it sound scientific. This latin name is used
by botanists to describe over 60 different types of plants; often having
no other similarities with true oregano except taste (like Thymus capitus
from Spain or Mexican Sage). True oregano grows only under specific soil
and climate condition and can not be reproduced in your own backyard, even
if the same seeds are planted. It's the perfect growing conditions found
in the mountains of the Mediterranean that produce oregano with active, beneficial
substances and without compounds that can be harmful to health when taken
in concentrated dosages. Thymol is the harmful substance present in many
inferior grades of oregano oil. Our oil contains no thymol. Carvacrol content
is a good indicator of high quality oregano oil, and our products have over
64%. But carvacrol is not the only indicator of high quality oregano, as
the plant produces over 50 known substances (to date) which work synergistically
to provide its outstanding benefits.
How to use Oil of Oregano: Take a drop or two under the tongue or add
a few drops in juice or water. Use on the skin or inhale the fumes. It is
pungent and aromatic. A warm sensation when taken directly into the mouth
is normal, as it is from garlic or cayenne pepper. The warmth dissipates
rapidly.
Other wild
oregano supplements available from NAHS are Oregamax, Hercules Strength,
Oreganol gel caps, juice of Oregano and Oregacyn (a mixture of oregano, cumin
and other natural substances).
Super Strength Oil of Oregano
Super Strength oil of oregano is highly concentrated. It is about three times more concentrated that the regular oil of oregano.
Oil of oregano is a completely natural substance derived from the wild oregano
species. The plant grows in remote, mountainous regions free of chemical
pollution. Only the leaves of the flowering plant are used, which are picked
precisely when the plant is highest in essential oil. The oil is extracted
by a completely natural process; no chemicals or solvents are used. The oil
is the source of virtually all of the plant's active ingredients.
Oil of oregano is a potent germicide. Jean Valnet, in his book "The Practice
of Aromatherapy", describes how oil of oregano is so strong that it is capable
of sterilizing sewage! Research published in the International Journal
of Food Microbiology found that oil of oregano is capable of killing a wide
range of fungi and bacteria. According to the Journal of Applied Nutrition,
oil of oregano is highly effective for killing Candida. Researchers in Mexico
found it possesses strong anti-parasitic actions, especially against Giardia.
As published by Sarer, researchers describe its antiseptic powers as "remarkable."
Oil of oregano is also a powerful painkiller. An article published in Phytotherapy
Research describes how oregano oil superseded anti-inflammatory drugs in
reversing pain and inflammation and how it is nearly as powerful as morphine
as a painkiller! The oil also possesses significant antioxidant powers.
Furthermore, it stimulates the flow of bile, which greatly aids fat digestion.
Use the Super Strength on or in the body. It's strong, so when using it internally,
start with a small amount such as one or two drops twice daily in juice or
sublingually. As a gargle, add a couple of drops to a glass of salt water.
Rub it on externally for various conditions. For raw skin rashes such as
psoriasis, it is best to us it only internally. To take larger amounts, fill
a gelatin capsule with the oil and take one capsule three times daily with
meals
Dosage Protocols:
Acute Vital Infections: Take 2 or 3 drops sublingually or in juice
or water four times daily. For stubborn viral infections double this dosage.
Chronic Viral Infections: Take 3 to 10 drops three times daily in juice
or water. Additionally, take a drop or two under the tongue several times
daily.
Chronic Fungal Infections: (internal): This often requires large

site twice daily. For toenail fungus, saturate a piece of cotton and apply
with tape to the involved nail; leave overnight and repeat for at least one
month. Take 5 drops twice daily in juice or water.
Acute or chronic bacterial infections: Same as protocol for viruses.
Psoriasis and/or Eczema: Take 5 to 20 drops three times daily in juice or water.

Super Strength Oil of Oregano from North
American Herb & Spice Co. is guaranteed to be made from pure wild oregano.
No thyme or marjoram are used.
Oregamax – Guaranteed Wild
Oregamax is the original wild oregano supplement. It contains a type of wild
oregano that has the most ancient history known. In fact, when you Oregamax,
you are consuming the same ancient substance known as the hyssop of the Bible.
It is the same substance which Mamonides, the famous Jewish physician of
Islamic Spain, said is the "hyssop of the Law." Yet Mamonides, as well
as the modern researcher Fleisher, knew that the hyssop of the mountains
is, in fact, wild oregano.
Oregamax is the ideal tonic for virtually anyone desiring strong herbal support.
It tastes strong (but it is lovely) and is a source of tremendous herbal
strength. Oregamax is made from wild oregano found in the deep Mediterranean
mountains. The wild oregano in it offers a rich array of strength promoting
flavonoids not found in the oil. It, also, contains Rhus coriaria, which
is a mountain berry. This berry is a rich source of anti-allergy flavonoids,
particularly malic, tannic and gallic acids. It also provides naturally occurring
vitamin C. Finally, organic garlic and onion are added to accelerate the
herbal powers. Oregamax is a village formula and it has been used for thousands
of years.
The wild oregano in Oregamax is an excellent source of special, powerful
substances known as phenolic acids. When you need herbal strength quickly,
this is the formula to rely upon because these phenolic acids are readily
used by the body to enhance one's health. It is also a top source of natural
calcium, zinc, copper and phosphorus; in fact, the plant grows right out
of white, rocky mineral rich soil.
How to Use Oregamax: Take two capsules once or twice daily with meals
or on an empty stomach. For greater herbal power, take three caps two or
three times daily. This wild oregano is safe and valuable. Open the caps
and add it to food. It's an excellent dietary addition for children as well
as adults.
Oregamax is 100% safe. It is safer than eating commercial food. It is safer
than commercially fried food, commercial wheat bread, soda pop, etc. It is
safe for all ages. The only side effect is that the individual might achieve
an unexpected degree of wellness.
1. To cleanse the system
of impurities, take two or three capsules three times daily. Start slowly,
like one cap twice daily and work the amount upwards. A cleansing reaction
such as flu-like symptoms, while rare, can occur because wild oregano activates
stagnant immune systems. Do the cleanse for at least one month.
2. For tough situations, take two or three capsules several times daily. Continue this as long as needed.
3. For a history of food/water poisoning by germs or chemicals,
follow step #1 above. For severe food/water poisoning, continue this protocol
for two months. For additional cleansing power, add LivaClenz or Juice of
Oregano. Follow instruction on the bottle.
As a maintenance, take two to four capsules daily.
For best results, take Oregamax whenever using oil of oregano.
Oregacyn – Synergistic Blend for Respiratory Health
Oregacyn is our newest Oregano product. It is composed of a proprietary blend
of wild mountainous Oil of Oregano, Cumin, Sage, and other aromatic ingredients
– All Natural. It is unusual in that we have found a way to powder these
essential oils without losing their vitality. The powder is placed in capsules
for ease of use.
Oregacyn is by far our most powerful herbal blend to date. It can be used
for any of the conditions outlined earlier in this paper. Usually just one
capsule taken one to four times daily is sufficient to help one's body to
effectively heal itself.
It is especially effective when it is the irritable nose, itchy eyes, scratchy
throat, achy head, stuffy sinus and dry cough mold season. One of Oregacyn's
active ingredients, primarily P73 wild oregano, has been shown in lab studies
to kill a wide range of germs. According to the Mayo Clinic, molds are a
major cause of sinus infections.
An excellent book to read as regards general health and the use of proper
diet and herbs is "How to Eat Right and Live Longer" by Dr. Cass Ingram.
It is a significant work that can guide one to a better state of health and
well-being. Doc Ingram points out that correct living habits do not take
away from our enjoyment of life; rather they can increase our pleasure and
satisfaction.
