6. Lose Weight
Mouse studies indicate that due to its carvacrol content, oregano oil may help you shed excess pounds. When two groups of mice were fed either a high-fat diet or a high-fat diet with carvacrol added, the mice that took carvacrol gained less weight and body fat than those in the group that did not receive carvacrol. It appears that this powerful compound is actually able to reverse the chain of events that leads to new fat cells being formed.
It is important to remember that mice are different than people and that more research is necessary, but these results are promising. While oregano oil alone probably won’t cause the pounds to melt away, it can be an effective addition to diet and lifestyle changes aimed at losing weight.
