Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 I would be VERY careful about taking oil of oregano orally. Just a drop or two by itself is very caustic to the throat. It can cause quite a reaction.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Hi! A caution about Hyssop: I knew a Guy some years ago who used the herb continuously over a long period of time. He had gastrointestinal problems, which he later learned was the side effect which developed due to misusing the herb. Herbs are drugs, and sometimes it's necessary to plan periodic hollidays from it to avoid side effects. Hyssop was used, anciently, for the blue mold which developed on the leaf: pennicilin! When planning to use Hyssop, read about it, know what it can do for you, and expect to limit its use too. Just some advice.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 --- Donna, I would be interested in any information in regards to hyssop and HBP. I use it in tea form occasionally and have heard it is excellent for liver detox. :-) JoAnn Guest joguest Friendsforhealthnaturally http://canceranswer.homestead.com/AIM.html dfnewman@a... wrote: > Isnt it also prudent to be cautious with hyssop if you have HBP? > donna > In a message dated 1/4/02 12:45:14 PM, kenwoody@l... writes: > > << I would be VERY careful about taking oil of oregano orally.
