Medicinal Oils Medicinal oils are oils that are taken internally for their health benefits. This contrasts with essential oils which are used externally and are mixed with a carrier oil. Medicinal oils have typically been used in natural medicine for many years. Use of Black Seed oil for example can be traced back more than 3000 years.

The plant from which the Oil of Oregano is extracted is a wild species of Oregano, chemically and botanically different from commercial Oregano. There are numerous laboratory studies that indicate oil of oregano has anti-fungal, antioxidant, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, and anti-bacterial activities. Preliminary research indicates Oil of Origano and its active ingredient carvacrol may protect against drug-resistant bacteria. Professor Harry G. Preuss, MD and his research team tested oregano oil on staphylococcus bacteria—which is responsible for a variety of severe infections and is becoming increasingly resistant to many antibiotics. They combined oregano oil with the bacteria in a test tube, and compared oregano oil's effects to those of standard antibiotics streptomycin, penicillin and vacnomycin. The oregano oil at relatively low doses was found to inhibit the growth of staphylococcus bacteria in the test tubes as effectively as the standard antibiotics did. http://gumc.georgetown.edu/communications/releases/archive/carvacrol_treatment_10062001.htm When purchasing Oil of Oregano you should make sure it is mountain grown wild Mediterranean and high in Carvacrol, it must be free of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, it must be the real Oreganum Vulgare and it should be easy to administer.

Ashton-under-Lyne                               Black Seed Oil - Shifa 100ml £7.25 60  For over 3000 years, Black Seed has been revered by people from cultures around the world for its amazing power to heal and strengthen the body.Also known as the "Blessed Seed", Black Seed has been recommended in religious scriptures and was well-known in Ancient Egyptian, Roman and Greek medicine. It is an important herb in Ayurvedic and Middle Eastern treatments. Traditional uses for Black Seed are numerous and range from digestive complaints and skin problems to asthma and infertility. In the last few decades, Black Seed has been the focus of numerous scientific and medical studies. Black Seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. An array of over 100 active components act in a unique synergy to strengthen and enhance the body, primarily through the immune system. The latin name for this plant is Nigella sativa, the seeds are also known as Kalonji seeds. The actual plant reproduces with itself and forms a fruit capsule which consists of many white trigonal seeds. Once the fruit capsule has matured, it opens up and the seeds contained within are exposed to the air, becoming black in color (black seeds). The use of Black Seed soon spreas to other parts of Africa and the Middle East and was well known by the sixth century when the Prophet Muhammed is reported to have said "Hold on to the use of Black Seed for it has a remedy for every illness except death". (Sahih Al-Bukhari)        Essential Oils An essential oil is any concentrated, hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. The term essential indicates that the oil carries distinctive scent (essence) of the plant, not that it is an especially important or fundamental substance. The oils are used for aromatherapy, a form of alternative medicine, in which healing effects are ascribed to the aromatic compounds in essential oils and other plant extracts.
