Household toxins don't just affect us; they also harm every living thing on earth. During manufacturing process, toxins get disposed of in environment in form of air and water pollution, as well as toxic waste. These toxins are not only polluting our air and water, but killing fish, animals and plant life.

The average household contains anywhere from 3-25 gallons of toxic materials, most of which are in cleaners. No law requires manufacturers of cleaning products to list ingredients on their labels or to test their products for safety. Many household cleaners contain chlorine, though it often masquerades behind aliases such as "sodium hypochlorite" or "hypochlorite." Breathing in fumes of cleaners containing a high concentration of chlorine can irritate lungs. This is particularly dangerous for people suffering from heart conditions or chronic respiratory problems such as asthma or emphysema. And risks are compounded when cleaners are used in small, poorly ventilated rooms, such as bathroom.

Few people realize that wild oregano has been relied upon as a therapeutic herb since antiquity. About 3000 B.C. Babylonians described it as a cure for lung and cardiac disease. They also used it for wound healing and venomous bites. The ancient Greeks used wild oregano for healing wounds, destroying infections and reversing lung and cardiac disorders.

In book, Salmon’s Herbal, written in 1600’s, oregano oil is highly valued and recommended for chest, menstrual, uterine, lung and digestive complaints. Specific uses mentioned include: diarrhea, asthma, colds, infections of female sexual organs and uterine tumors. Additionally, its value against liver disorders is emphasized.

In Garden of Health (1633), William Langham described an even wider range of uses including such diverse conditions as bladder trouble, bleeding, heart failure, head pain, itchy skin, mouth pain, spots on skin, stomachache, intestinal worms and toothache. Oregano oil has always been relied upon as an emergency medicine.

Oregano oil is well known in Mediterranean world (Greece and Crete) for its ability to slow down food spoilage because of its antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and antioxidant abilities. The related herbs of thyme and marjoram sold in most North American supermarkets, are labeled incorrectly as oregano and possess little of wild oregano’s healing properties.

Oil of Oregano is a completely natural substance derived from wild oregano species. The plant grows in remote mountainous regions free of pollution. Only leaves of flowering plant are used. They are picked precisely when plant is highest in essential oil. Being wild, it is grown chemical-free and oil is extracted via a completely natural process – no chemicals or solvents are used. The oil is source of virtually all of plant’s active ingredients.

The benefit of oregano has gone largely unnoticed. In addition to fighting various fungi, oil of oregano is useful against bacteria and parasites. It can be used to treat internal and external fungi including athlete’s foot. Skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema can be improved. Oil of oregano outright destroys all variety of fungi and yeasts, regardless of where they reside. In case of parasites, oil of oregano has had success in neutralizing worms, amoeba, and protozoan. Oil of oregano’s antiseptic powers are immense – it inhibits growth of majority of bacteria, something that prescription antibiotics fail to accomplish.
