Many of the videos he comes across are of questionable sources, so I knew I had to do more research. I fully expected to tell him that the oregano video was a bunch of crap, but what I found was anything but.

It turns out that oregano essential oil has so many health benefits, I can't believe this is the first I'm hearing of it.

What makes oregano essential oil so special?

It has to do with what oregano contains. According to draxe.com,

Oil of oregano contains two powerful compounds called carvacrol and thymol, both of which have been shown in studies to have strong antibacterial and antifungal properties.
