**Oregano oil**, from the *Origanum vulgare* plant, has been used in traditional medicine for centuries due to its **antimicrobial strength**, mainly from compounds **carvacrol** and **thymol**. These help fight bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Recent studies show it may also be effective against **intestinal parasites** like **giardia** and **pinworms**, potentially supporting **digestive health** and improving **nutrient absorption**.

The oil’s antimicrobial action may benefit the **urinary tract**, helping prevent infections by “inhibit\[ing] the growth of harmful bacteria.”
