From the Book: The Cure is in the Cupboard: How to use Oregano for Better Health by Dr. Cass Ingram, p. 46-47.
Arthritis is defined as inflammation of the joints. It may be caused by poor diet and is often aggravated by toxic reactions to specific foods. Infection is another major cause, and prolonged stress may also lead to arthritis.
Nutritional deficiency plays a major role in arthritis. The proper health of the joints is highly dependent upon a steady supply of nourishment in the form of amino acids, minerals, mucopolysaccharides, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. Arthritics are commonly deficient in a wide range of nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin E, pantothenic acid, niacin, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin K, essential fatty acids, and mucopolysaccharides. Regarding the latter, popular treatments for arthritis include shark cartilage, chondroitin sulfate, and glucosamine sulfate, all of which are rich sources of mucopolysaccharides.
There are several types of arthritis and each has different causes. Infection by various germs, particularly parasites and bacteria, is the most common cause. Regardless of the cause the common thread is that the joints become terribly inflamed. That is why the primary medical treatment for arthritis consists of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Oil of oregano is a potent anti-inflammatory agent and exerts these effects both topically and internally. Plus, it is an anti-pain agent. A study published in Phytotherapie Research determined that oil of wild oregano exhibits morphine-like properties. The crushed herb, in the form of Oregamax, also exhibits anti-inflammatory powers. Furthermore, oregano products are far safer than the arthritis drugs such as aspirin, Motrin, and Indocin. The latter are the number one cause of intestinal bleeding and bleeding ulcers and, thus, are the major cause of sudden death in arthritics. Yet, perhaps the greatest function of the oil in the treatment of arthritis relates to its antiseptic action: oil of oregano destroys both parasites and bacteria.
Treatment Protocol
Rub oil of oregano (diluted) on affected joints in the morning and before bedtime daily until the condition is resolved. For tougher situations use the SuperStrength oil of wild oregano. Take also Oregamax, three capsules twice daily.
