How to use Oregano Oil for ailments?

It depends if you have over 85% carvacol (the active ingredient,) of wild Mexican oregano oil (the effective one) then the best way to use it for respiratory and congestion is to start with 3 drops in a big bowl of steaming, hot water. Put a towel over your head and the bowl. You want to have tissues close at hand. Breathe it in. It will sting (maybe a LOT) and that would be the virus, bacteria or fungus dying. Once you become tolerant, you can increase the number of drops.

It will be active for only about 5 minutes, so you'll have to add more drops. Do this as many times a day as you'd like, for as long as you like. Doing ooo therapy for about 4 weeks will rid you of allergies, asthma and chronic bronchitis, etc., even if you've had them for years.

For topical use, you want to use one to twelve ratios of ooo to organic olive oil (i.e., 1 drop to twelve drops.) This is for cuts and skin issues. Or, use drops under the tongue, for digestive and intestinal problems.

Breathing it in delivers the oregano oil directly into the blood stream.

So if breathing it in administers it directly into the blood stream than there really is no point to take it internally and risk the "burning sensation" that's associated with it?

thank you, BTW.

Be Careful with this oil. It depends on what brand and how it's mixed. You preferable want to buy it with 63% or higher with Carvacrol. You also want to make sure it has 2% or less of Thymol since it's toxic to the liver in high doses. Look for wild, organic, and non-GMO sources. Avoid fakes on the market. It's not cheap. The links I will provide below are the real deal.

For someone just starting, you can take 2 to 6 drops mixed in a drink or put it under the tongue. Regiment users can go up to 40 drops a day since they've used it for years.

Some is premixed with Olive Oil since it needs a carrier oil. It helps deliver it throughout the body plus it keeps it from burning the throat. You can by it premixed or pure. For instance, this North American Herb and Spice P73Oregano Oil [link to www.amazon.com (secure)] is premixed and can be used right away without mixing or you can choose something like ZANE [link to www.amazon.com (secure)] which is not mixed. You would want to dilute it with Olive Oil.

Hope this helps.

It will sting in your air passages, so only start with 3 drops. It only stings for a few seconds, though. But it is intense, so brace yourself and have plenty of tissues. Buying it in the bottle is the more cost effective and versatile. It will last you a long time. My favorite supplier is www.se1.us. Survival Enterprises.

You're welcome. :)

So it seems the Carvacrol content is important, thank you!

Ok awesome thank you, I just checked the one I bought and it is made by Up Nature out of California, however it doesn't mention a carvacol amount.

I will look into the one you and the other member recommended on my next purchase. Sounds like it wouldn't be a bad idea to stock up on a couple different brands.

Yes, it's very important. The higher the better. Just make sure you mix it if it's pure for either drinking or putting on the skin. I will burn. It's best not to put on a cut or wound if it's bleeding. Wait till it heals some before applying. This stuff will wipe out toenail fungus after 4 months of daily use. It destroys fungus. You're welcome. If your looking to protect against the flu, get some real garlic cloves and Colloidal Silver. I haven't been sick in years. I used to get deathly sick but not anymore. And I don't take the flu shot.

I have 3 different strains of garlic growing year round and my neighbor makes his own Colloidal silver and gives me a few gallons a week for my plants and what not.

We live pretty holistic lives out here, but essential oil are a mystery to me. I used to think they were just used to make your house smell nice, now I am learning all these healing properties I would like to know more!

I was in the same boat as you. We were all put their by our liars in charge. I'm always looking into products and it well worth it if you never have to visit any doctors. I tend to stay away from hospitals and doctors. Sounds like you've done some research since you have some good products on hand. I can make Colloidal silver too and it's not hard but it does take some time. I just buy MesoSilver 20 ppm to save time. Great stuff and has a wonderful amber tint that's clear. If you have the test equipment, you can test the ppm to make sure they're not lying.

I take it in capsule form. However, do not bust a capsule open & ingest the liquid. It burns very badly!

Had a bad sinus infection last year that wasn’t responding to antibiotics for awhile. Just before it began to subside I was going to nebulize Oregano Oil

Oregano oil and some of the other things posted here will kill off the natural flora of your body. I have dermatitis that looks like poison ivy all over my chest. I got this from taking stuff like this randomly to cure random things that didn't need cured.

I have been covered in this crap for going on 8 months now. I admit I am keeping it from spreading worse with a mix of tea tree oil and oil of oregano. It is not going away though.

Be warned taking crap like this that will kill off the good flora in your body that holds back the bad. I don't eat sugar or junk foods either.
