Oregano oil is known to have approximately 10 key properties. These include being antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiparasitic, antiseptic, analgesic, a digestive aid, and an immune booster.

For treating nail or foot fungus, oregano oil is primarily used for its antifungal and antibacterial properties. It can be applied topically to the affected area. The typical method is to dilute oregano oil with a carrier oil (like olive or coconut oil) due to its potency and then apply it directly onto the infected nail and surrounding skin. This is usually done once or twice daily.

Oregano oil can be taken orally, but it should be done with caution, especially for treating conditions like nail fungus. Oregano oil is potent and can have adverse effects if not used properly. When taken orally, it's usually diluted or used in a capsule form to avoid irritation to the digestive tract.

However, for nail fungus specifically, the effectiveness of oral oregano oil is less clear. Most of the benefits related to treating nail fungus with oregano oil are linked to its topical application, where the oil is applied directly to the affected area.
