Good Vibes Only: Safety and Precautions
While Oil of Oregano is nature’s medicine, it’s strong stuff—so respect the plant magic! It’s not for pregnant or nursing mamas, as it may stimulate contractions. If you’re on blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder, check with a holistic practitioner before using it. And if you have an allergy to plants in the Lamiaceae family (like mint, basil, or sage), go easy and see how your body responds.
