Why You Should Stock up on Oregano Oil

Oregano oil is a powerful antioxidant. It contains around 30 times more antioxidants than oranges, and about 42 times more than apples. These oregano oil antioxidants help destroy free radicals that cause cancer, strokes, and heart disease. Antioxidants are also known to slow the aging process.

Oregano oil is an anti-viral. When you are suffering from a tummy bug or a cold, taking several drops of oregano oil (I like taking mine in a tablespoon of lemon juice) three times a day can make for a quicker recovery. I've often "dodged" colds, by taking oregano oil at the first sign of a cough or sore throat.

According to a study done by scientists at the University of West England in Bristol, England, oregano oil has stronger antibacterial properties than many, if not most, prescription antibiotics. This herb oil is also considered powerful enough to possibly kill the antibiotic-resistant MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus). Oil of Oregano has been used by people all over the world to kill many forms of bacteria. In a personal experience of mine: it took out a urinary tract infection that I had, in just two days. Also, I once got a double ear infection, and this oil took that out in two days, as well.

I treated the UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) by taking several drops of wild oregano oil in a tablespoon of lemon juice three times a day. I did the same with the double ear infection, but I also put a mixture of olive oil and oregano oil into both ears three or more times per day, as well.

Because of its amazing antibacterial properties, oregano oil is a fantastic ointment to put on wounds. You may want to water it down with something like coconut oil first; else it may cause an intense burning sensation.

According to Drugs.com, oregano oil can also eradicate Proteus, Salmonella, E.coli, and the Helicobacter pylori bacterium, which is thought to cause peptic ulcers. This amazing oil has also been known to cure the "incurable" painful gastritis, which is sometimes caused by the Helicobacter pylori bacterium. However, there are cases of gastritis that show no sign of said bacteria, yet oregano oil seems to help gastritis in either case.

Oregano oil is such a powerful antibiotic, because it contains thymol and carvacrol, which are two phenols that act as powerful antiseptics.

The good news with this herbal oil doesn't stop here. We've only scratched the surface. It is also an anti-fungal. It has been found to kill yeast infections, Aspergillus, Candida Albicans, the Penicillium fungi, and more. To treat internal fungi infections, take several drops three times a day - I suggest in lemon juice. It will be spicy, so have some water or milk ready to immediately gulp down as a chaser. To topically treat fungal issues, simply spread a few drops of the oil on the area. If it gives too much of an intense burning, then quickly rub on a little bit of olive oil on top, and next time dilute the oregano oil with a bit of olive or coconut oil. Everyone's skin is different, and different oregano oils have different strengths, so you'll need to experiment to find what works best for you.

Oregano oil is also an anti-parasitic. The carvacrol and thymol phenols in this oil have been shown to kill internal and external parasites, such as hookworm, roundworm, tapeworm, pinworm, and various skin mites.

According to the Wolfe Clinic, oregano oil can help with fibromyalgia and CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome).

Many people have reported this oil helps a lot with RA (rheumatoid arthritis). People who use this as a therapy, rub the oil on the inflamed areas, and many take it internally, as well. Many people with RA have reported wonderful results with oregano oil. Some use this oil as their sole medication.

A good quality wild oregano oil is antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant, an analgesic, anti-parasitic, and is also an anti-venom. Immediately applying straight oregano oil to a venomous bite, as well as taking this oil internally, has been reported to give good results. I have no personal experience with this to back this up, but I believe its anti-venom properties to be true and strong.

Speaking of personal experience, I mentioned above that I've successfully gotten rid of a urinary tract infection and double ear infection with oregano oil. I forgot to mention something else - teeth. I had an infected tooth that needed a root canal, and it was hurting pretty badly. I knew that if I could kill the infection, the pain would go down, if not completely away. I had a dentist appointment, but wanted to reduce my chances of needing to take an antibiotic, so I used oregano oil for a few days until my appointment. I put it directly on the tooth a few times a day, I put it on my toothbrush with my toothpaste when I brushed, and I took it internally. After two days, the pain was gone. That tooth is now root canalled, but I am grateful to the powers of oregano oil for making me more comfortable, while I waited for my dentist appointment.

To prevent future tooth infections and decay, consider brushing your teeth with a bit of oregano oil added to your toothpaste or tooth powder. Or, you can put a few drops in a bit of warm water, and use it as a mouth rinse.

I believe this oil is a gem, and should be in every first aid kit, in every medicine cabinet, and in every purse.

You can usually get good oregano oil from health food stores, or you can buy some online from such places as BodyBuilding.com, or Amazon.com. This stuff has been shown to fight cancer, viruses, bacteria, venom, fungus, and more. I say, keep this stuff around.

Build Your Foundation on the Rock of Salvation

The terms "Christian" and "personal relationship with Jesus Christ" have been thrown around so much, that for many people, they have lost their original savor. What is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Is it going to church? Is it being a "good person?" Is it via doing certain rituals, or following certain traditions? No, it is so much simpler than that.

"Look! I’m standing at the door and knocking. If any hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to be with them, and will have dinner with them, and they will have dinner with me." -Revelation 3:20 CEB

Let Jesus into your heart and life. Put your faith and trust in Him, and in Him alone.

Why did Jesus Christ come to this earth? He came to pay for our sins. Have you ever broken any of the Ten Commandments? Did you know that Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount that just looking at someone with lust in your heart is the same thing as committing adultery in your heart?

Many people will say I'm a good person. Sure, I've stolen a few paper clips in my time, and I've told some lies, but I've never killed anyone, so I'm good enough for heaven. Don't be so sure. Have you ever felt hatred toward someone? If so, then you are guilty of committing murder in your heart:

"Everyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that murderers don’t have eternal life residing in them." -1 John 3:15 CEB

If you have stolen, lied, lusted after someone, hated someone, loved someone or something more than God, etc., then you have broken at least 5 of the Ten Commandments. Do you really think you'd make it to heaven? Not according to God's Word:

"Don’t you know that people who are unjust won’t inherit God’s kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Those who are sexually immoral, those who worship false gods, adulterers, both participants in same-sex intercourse, thieves, the greedy, drunks, abusive people, and swindlers won’t inherit God’s kingdom." -1 Corinthians 6:9-10 CEB

"That is what some of you used to be! But you were washed clean, you were made holy to God, and you were made right with God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God." -1 Corinthians 6:11 CEB

Even Mary, the woman chosen by God to be a vessel that would carry Jesus in her womb, was a sinner, and in need of a Savior:

"In the depths of who I am I rejoice in God my savior." - Mary said this in Luke 1:47 (CEB). Only sinners need a Savior, and Mary also accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior.

"This is the message that we have heard from him and announce to you: “God is light and there is no darkness in him at all.” If we claim, “We have fellowship with him,” and live in the darkness, we are lying and do not act truthfully. But if we live in the light in the same way as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from every sin. If we claim, “We don’t have any sin,” we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." -1 John 1:5-8 CEB

The blood of Jesus Christ is what cleanses us from all sins. Jesus came to this earth to die to pay for our sins. You see, Leviticus tells us that 'the life is in the blood,' and that it takes spilt blood to atone for sin.

When we choose to truly believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and to live our lives for Christ, then Christ's spilt blood cleanses us from our sins:

"Come now, and let’s settle this, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow. If they are red as crimson, they will become like wool." -Isaiah 1:18 CEB

"God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him won’t perish but will have eternal life. God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him isn’t judged; whoever doesn’t believe in him is already judged, because they don’t believe in the name of God’s only Son." - Jesus said this, in John 3:16-18 (CEB)

"Because if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and in your heart you have faith that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Trusting with the heart leads to righteousness, and confessing with the mouth leads to salvation. The scripture says, All who have faith in him won’t be put to shame." -Romans 10:9-11 CEB

"There is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, the human Christ Jesus" -1 Timothy 2:5 CEB

"Also, let’s hold on to the confession since we have a great high priest who passed through the heavens, who is Jesus, God’s Son; because we don’t have a high priest who can’t sympathize with our weaknesses but instead one who was tempted in every way that we are, except without sin." -Hebrews 4:14-15 CEB

"Jesus replied, “Why do you break the command of God by keeping the rules handed down to you?" -Matthew 15:3 CEB

"Without question, the mystery of godliness is great: he was revealed as a human, declared righteous by the Spirit, seen by angels, preached throughout the nations, believed in around the world, and taken up in glory." -1 Timothy 3:16 CEB

If Jesus isn't the Lord of your life, then I hope that you will let Him into your heart and life this very moment.

"But God shows his love for us, because while we were still sinners Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8 CEB

Jesus is the way. If you would like to receive Jesus into your heart and life, then let Him know. Pray to the Lord, telling Him that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and that you believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the death penalty for your sins. Tell this to God in your own words, from your heart.

"The wages that sin pays are death, but God’s gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 6:23 CEB

"You too heard the word of truth in Christ, which is the good news of your salvation. You were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit because you believed in Christ." -Ephesians 1:13 CEB

When you believe on Jesus Christ, you receive the Holy Spirit. You are sealed as a child of God.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ into your heart and life as your Lord and Savior, and you believe that Jesus died on the cross in your place, to pay the death penalty for your sins, and that Christ rose from the dead three days later, and you are ready to let Him lead your life, and you will live for Him, then you are saved, and born again.

You are now a saved Child of God, with the Holy Spirit living within you. Dedicate your life to the Lord, and live for Him. Please get a Bible (I suggest the Common English Bible - CEB) and turn to the Gospel of John. That is the fourth book in the New Testament. If you don't have a Bible, then you can read it for free, online - here.

After you've read the Gospel of John, go on to read Acts, and then Romans. These three books will bring you through the Gospel, the early church, and basic Christian doctrine. After you've read these three, then turn to the beginning of the New Testament, and read it all the way through. After that, read both the Old and New Testaments.

You should also follow the Lord and get baptized in water. A Believer's Baptism doesn't save you. Only faith in Christ saves you. A Believer's Baptism is an outward showing of your salvation. It symbolizes you being born again. When you are lowered under the water, it shows you dying to your old self, and when you are raised up out of the water, it symbolizes you being born again, as a new creature in Christ. This is called a Believer's Baptism, because, according to the Bible, a person is supposed to get baptized after they have believed on Christ. Anyone who was "baptized" before having faith in Christ just got wet - nothing more. You don't need to find a church to get baptized in. Any born again Christian can baptize you in any acceptable body of water - even a public swimming pool.

Find a good, local church congregation to attend. Search in your area for a Nazarene church, Foursquare church, or non-denominational Full-Gospel church.

Immerse yourself in the Bible. The Bible is God's love letter to you. It is also your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
