There is a common oregano that is used for cooking and the wild oregano that is used to make oil. The compounds responsible for the health benefits of oregano are carvacrol and thymol, they can inhibit the growth of bacteria, virus and fungi. Oregano oil has antiviral, antibacterial and antiparisitic properties, and can also help treat skin infections.

Oregano is a powerful source of many antioxidants that play important role in the prevention of many forms of cancer, as well as slowing the aging process.
