Ans: Since you asked a specific question, thought i will bring down certain good effects and side effects of Oregano
The oxygen released by Oregano Oil reacts to the water in your body in order to generate heat. This heat safely and naturally kills off germs and other harmful invaders by dehydrating them. Studies have found that Oregano Oil inhibits and destroys many strains of parasites, bacteria, fungi, and other harmful pathogens. In a study published in Phytotherapy Research, Oregano Oil’s effects were examined on people with an intestinal parasite called Blastocystis hominis. This parasite causes diarrhea, anal itching, and weight loss. Everyone took Oregano Oil for 6 weeks as instructed. As a result, all participants symptoms were reduced, and some were completely free of the parasite altogether.While Oil of Oregano has some powerful benefits, it also has 2 important side effects that you should be aware of.

- If it is misused it can be toxic

Like anything, including everyday aspirin, if you misuse Oregano Oil, it can be toxic to the body. So, please read the instructions, and use it properly.

- It can reduce your body’s ability to absorb iron

Due to this, it is important to take iron supplements with Oregano Oil if you plan to use it regularly. Also, due to its affect on your body absorbing iron, pregnant women are recommended against taking it.

- Some may be allergic to it.

Oregano is in the same family as thyme, mint, basil, and sage. If you have allergies to these, you may also be allergic to Oregano Oil as well. So, if you experience any skin irritation, vomiting, or rashes, you should stop using it immediately.
