Overview
•Oregano oil at 60 mg (36 mg carvacrol) is generally safe for short-term use in healthy adults, but may cause gastrointestinal upset like heartburn or nausea in sensitive individuals.
•Potential interactions with blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin) due to carvacrol's mild anticoagulant effects; consult a doctor if on anticoagulants.
•Dosage aligns with studied ranges (30-200 mg carvacrol daily) and stays below toxicity thresholds, supporting safe use up to 6 weeks.
•Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to lack of safety data and potential uterine stimulant effects.
•Allergen risk low, but those with allergies to Lamiaceae family plants (e.g., mint, basil) may experience reactions.
•Long-term use beyond 2 weeks may disrupt gut flora; cycle use and monitor for side effects.
