What are cuts and scrapes
Cuts and scrapes are defined by a break in the skin. They are common and generally minor, but if left unattended can become infected. To reduce the risk of getting an infection, the affected areas should be cleaned properly to prevent entry of harmful microorganisms 2.
How Oil of Wild Oregano can help
Oregano oil has excellent antiseptic properties that prevent pathogens from entering your system through a wound 2.
Oregano oil performed very well when tested against a huge number of bacteria; particularly 189 gram-negative and 135 gram-positive strains of locally prevalent pathogenic bacteria 1.
In another test conducted to show the efficiency of a 3% Oregano extract on wound healing, it was shown that the oregano ointment group had 19 percent of cultures test positive for Staphylococcus aureus compared to 41 percent in the petrolatum group. One patient in the oregano ointment group developed a cellulitis compared to three patients in the petrolatum group. The oregano group had a statistically significant improvement over petrolatum in scar colour, pigmentation, and pliability. The study concluded that Oregano extract ointment decreased bacterial contamination and subsequent infection on post-surgical wounds and had equivalent overall scar appearance compared to petrolatum 3.
How to use Oil of Wild Oregano
Solutions4Health Oil of Wild Oregano is already appropriately diluted with a carrier oil so that it can be used safely for both internal consumption and external use.
First, you must always clean the scrape or cut. This can be done with plain water or even coconut oil 4.
Second, you need to disinfect. Oil of Wild Oregano has high antimicrobial and antiseptic properties. Apply liberally on your wound/s and repeat as needed. Make sure you have done a patch test on the inner section of your arm to determine any sensitivity.
As with the use of any nutraceutical, it is important to first consult with your doctor to discuss your use of Oil of Wild Oregano in light of any medical conditions you may have and any medication you may be taking.
Do not use on pregnant and nursing mothers. Consult your health care provider if you are giving it to children under the age of 12 or the elderly, so as to adjust the dosage accordingly. It is not recommended for children under the age of 5.

What’s a summer without a BBQ, and why not spice it up a bring something new to the table. Grilled Mango with Jalapenos. To keep the dish savoury Aaron McCargo used cayenne, lime and jalapenos, while grilling the mango balances it all as it brings their natural sugars out and leaves them tender and sweet 1.
Mango is a beautiful, sweet, soft fruit perfect for the summer. It has a wide range of health benefits. Here are few of many benefits mango has to offer;
Anti-oxidants are a powerful health benefit, recent studies have shown extracts of mango (mangiferin) to protect against breast cancer, colon cancer, and HIV. Reactive oxygen species, or ROS, which are free radical produced in normal energy production can be reduced by mangoes 2. The cells in your tissues can stay healthier for longer and may even reduce the risk of abnormal cell growth, seen in illnesses such as cancer. Mango can protect the integrity of red and white blood cells, enhance oxygen delivery, improve immunity, and overall health3.
Mango contains a high amount of Vitamin A which is known to be essential for eye health. Eating this fruit can maintain better vision and even be able to see better in near darkness4.
Carotenoids are very beneficial for skin health, keeping the skin hydrated and plump with a healthy glow. Mangoes contain high amounts carotenoids, which is why they have a vibrant colour5.
This amazing recipe by Aaron McCargo will be a hit at your next summer BBQ! It takes a total of 20 minutes, 15 minutes prep time and 5 minutes of cooking time. This will make about 6-8 servings.
All you need is:
- 3 mangoes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Cayenne pepper, to taste
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1 lime, halved
- 1/2 cup Mexican crema (or 1/3 cup sour cream mixed with 2 tablespoons milk)
- Thinly sliced jalapeno peppers and fresh cilantro, for topping
Then all you simply do is:
Preheat a grill to medium. Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh from the pit in large flat slices; lay on a baking sheet. Season the mango slices with salt, black pepper and cayenne and drizzle with olive oil. Turn the slices over and repeat.
Grill the mango slices, turning once, until well marked, 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer to a platter and squeeze the lime juice on top. Drizzle with the crema and top with jalapenos and cilantro6.
