Highlighted Ingredients
- Carvacrol: Carvacrol is a naturally occurring phenolic monoterpenoid common in the oils of oregano, thyme, and other plants. Multiple studies show carvacrol to contain Antimicrobial, Anticancer, And Antioxidant Properties. Unfortunately, there is a lack of human trials to provide more concrete evidence. This creates a barrier to making conclusions on carvacrol and its potential health benefits. However, preliminary evidence is promising, and we can expect further research in terms of what medicinal roles carvacrol may play in the future. Carvacrol is also a huge contributor to the warm, spicy aroma of oregano essential oil. Also, it makes sure of most of the oregano essential oil benefits.
- p-Cymene: p-Cymene is an aromatic monoterpene, which occurs naturally in plants. It is colorless and has a mild, sweet aroma. Research suggests p-Cymene may be an effective Anti-Inflammatory agent.
- Gamma-terpinene: Gamma-terpinene is a monoterpene that can be isolated from a number of essential oils including oregano oil. Studies show it to have an Antioxidant Effect, which means it is able to eliminate free radicals from the body.
- Thymol: Thymol is a monoterpene and a natural derivative of cymene. It appears in high concentrations in thyme oil, as well as in lower concentrations in oregano. Historically it has a range of uses, including as an antiseptic, an antifungal, and even as a vermifuge (to treat intestinal parasites). Many oregano essential oil benefits are acquired with the help of this chemical component.
- Linalool: Common uses of the plant metabolite Linalool include its role as both an antimicrobial agent and a fragrance additive.
