If oregano oil kills good bacteria as well as bad is it better to take probiotics when finished with the oil or at a different time while on the oil?

Answer 1

It is a false assumption that Oregano oil kills good bacteria. Oregano oil does kill pathogens but it feeds beneficial bacteria.

Try this simple experiment to confirm for yourself the amazing intelligence of Oregano oil to discern between harmful and beneficial micro organisms.

While making yogurt at home, place ten drops, (that's a lot of oregano oil!), into an eight ounce cup of milk and yogurt cultures while making up the rest of your yogurt batch as usual.

If oregano oil kills all organisms, including the beneficial ones, then the yogurt cultures will die and the milk will just be milk but if the oregano oil is discerning, then the cultures will thrive and you will have oregano flavored yogurt.

Not only are you going to enjoy a delicious savory yogurt but that oregano oil infused yogurt is going to far outlast the other yogurt batch because the oregano oil is going to continue to feed and preserve the good yogurt cultures while destroying any pathogens that would typically spoil the yogurt. I left my oregano oil infused yogurt in the fridge for month and it was as tasty after one month as it was the day I made it.

It is generally recommended to take probiotics after finishing a course of oregano oil to help restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut that may have been affected. Taking probiotics while on oregano oil may not be as effective, as the oil can potentially counteract the benefits of the probiotics by killing off the good bacteria.
