Pure-lē Natural Oil of Oregano has a highly deserved reputation as a natural remedy. It has a wide range of natural compounds with proven healing effects, including carvacrol. Some of these active ingredients damage the cell membranes of pathogenic bacteria, impairing their ability to survive and replicate. This common culinary spice has been used for centuries to treat respiratory problems such as colds, flu, asthma, bronchitis, and coughs. Studies have shown that using oil from the whole herb, rather than just some of its individual chemical compounds, creates a synergy that greatly enhances potency. Pure-le Natural Oil of Oregano products are derived from the Mediterranean species. For those individuals who are looking for the therapeutic benefit of oil of oregano but dislike oregano's distinct taste. Pure-lē Natural has developed a cold drying process that maintains the integriy of the oil and thus enables us to create a full potency oregano oil powder. This powder is used in our encapsulated Oregano product line. At Pure-le Natural we offer product blends such as OregaFlu. OregaFlu is the precise blend of Medicinal Mediterranean Oregano with Elder and Echinacea, two traditional botanicals for the prevention and treatment of influenza and flu symptoms. The key to OregaFlu Organicaps is the additive effect of its ingredients. Both medicinal oregano and elder are well known for their abilities to prevent and cure influenza (flu) infections. One could say elderberry was designed by nature to fight influenza. It is highly antiviral, attacking the influenza virus, while acting as an immunostimulant by building and toning the body's entire immune system. The flowers' diaphoretic (sweat-promoting) properties further stimulate the body's immune system to combat invading microbes. Echinacea is one of the most researched herbs for both colds and flu. Research shows Echinacea increases your number of white blood cells, which fight infections. Additionally Echinacea helps to prevent and relieve the symptoms and shorten the duration of upper respiratory tract infections
