Oreganol P73 oil 13.5ml
Why is P73 Oregano oil different from other brands?



The oregano used in the P73 blend of oil is harvested wild in the interior of Turkey from land that is owned by North American Herb & Spice. This wild oregano grows out of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus-rich rocks in a region more than 8,000 feet above sea level that has never been glaciated. The plants also benefit from a negative ionic charge provided by the closeness of the, Mediterranean Sea. This synergistic balance dictates the levels of naturally occurring phenols (i.e. carvacrol and thymol). This oregano in its natural state, is radically different to those from standardization methods that artificially alter phenolic levels. Our belief is that the efficacy of the oregano is dependent upon the integrity of the naturally occurring chemical composition found within the compound.
With over 52 species known to be sources of oregano, many are mis-identified as Origanum vulgare. The regionally known za' atar (one of the oregano species used in P73), although also classified under Origanum vulgare, has a distinct chemical composition. So too does Origanum Onites and Origanum Dictamus, two other species used in the P73 blend. These species have naturally high carvacrol content and are low in thymols.
Moreover, the mountainsides are protected via our own self-funded ecological program, North American Herb & Spice employs local villagers and often pays them not to pick to protect from over-harvesting. As part of our continued commitment to the development of this region a local collecting and sorting warehouse was built which provides income for the local population. North American Herb & Spice also built a school for the village's children.
In our own factory, using oldfashioned steam distillation, the oreganum oil is extracted without using chemicals or solvents (as too are all our other oils such as


Rosemary, Sage, Bayberry etc). This method of extraction secures the delicate composition of the compound. We also have our own pure water supply and own 150 acres of land around the processing plant inorder to protect against possible chemical over-spray drifting on the wind from neighbouring farms.
This commitment to keeping the oil as close to nature as possible is unique in the industry.
Historical documentation indicates that even before the widespread use of antibiotics, origanum oil was extensively used as a natural germ-killer. As a result of its popularity, origanum oil began to be commercially grown, harvested on an industrial scale and even synthetically adulterated. Adulterated Origanum oils are still too frequently encountered in the current marketplace and the majority of them should not be taken internally. It is quite easy to adulterate Origanum oil by adding lowpriced synthetic carvacrol and p-cymene. This fact is important to consider given the modem trend in herbal medicine to identify and isolate active compounds from a complex phytochemical matrix that can hardly be measured and are rarely understood. Although these practices may facilitate standardization, they do not necessarily maximize the Origanum oil's therapeutic benefits as shown in Dr. Harry G. Preuss's observations of the results of using standardized carvacrol versus the naturally occurring carvacrol found in Origanum oil P73 when testing against Candida albicans.
New information proving the inadequacies of antibiotics, as well as the accelerated emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, has led to the resurgence in demand and necessity for an effective alternative to antibiotics. This search brought us once more to recognise the benefits of plant-based

phenols and terpenes, due to the difference in mechanism of action between Origanum oil and antibiotics. With Origanum oil (and its phenolic compounds) the membrane of the microbe is dissolved resulting in lysis, effectively suffocating the bacteria and ultimately ceasing replication altogether. Unlike modern antibiotics, which only kill bacteria, wild Origanum oil possesses broadspectrum antiseptic powers and has been proven to be a potent bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal compound.
Research
According to research conducted at Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, D.C., by Harry G. Preuss, M.D., the P73 blend of oregano oil was able to destroy Candida albicans while proving to be more effective than nystatin and amphotericin B. Dr. Preuss also proved that the P73 blend of oregano oil was more effective than Vancomycin in halting the replication of drug-resistant staph aureus.
Research conducted at
Microbiotest, Inc., Sterling, V A, by M. Khalid Ijaz, Ph.D, proved that both the P73 blend of oregano oil (Oreganol P73) and Oregacyn P73 were able to inactivate and inhibit the growth of Influenza A, the Avian Influenza virus, and the human coronavirus in a mere 20 minutes. The more potent form, Oregacyn P73, is a dry, desiccated spice capsule that retains the biologically active plant compounds found in the oil, in a more concentrated form.
Research from Georgetown
University Medical Center and Dr. Preuss also proved that the P73 blend of oregano oil was successful in destroying bacillus anthrads (anthrax). These findings were supported by earlier research conducted at Cornell University as reported by Quarterly Review of Biology, vol. 73, March 1998.
The University of Tennessee Food Safety Initiative proved that oregano oil was effective at destroying E. coli.
