Oregano Oil May Protect Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria, Georgetown Researcher Finds
ScienceDaily (Washington, DC) ? Oil from the common herb oregano may be an effective treatment against dangerous, and sometimes drug-resistant bacteria, a Georgetown researcher has found.
Two studies have shown that oregano oil?and, in particular, carvacrol, one of oregano?s chemical components?
appear to reduce infection as effectively as traditional antibiotics. These findings were presented at the American College of Nutrition?s annual meeting October 6 and 7 in Orlando, Fla.
Harry G. Preuss, MD, MACN, CNS, professor of physiology and biophysics, and his research team, tested oregano oil on staphylococcus bacteria?which is responsible for a variety of severe infections and is becoming increasingly resistant to many antibiotics. They combined oregano oil with the bacteria in a test tube, and compared oregano oil?s effects to those of standard antibiotics streptomycin, penicillin and vacnomycin.
