I've never heard of anyone having a negative reaction to any of the TRUE

Origanums ..

that is, Oroganum vulgare, Origanum onites, Origanum dubium or Origanum

marjorana ..

but I suppose it is impossible. But breaking out in a rash or something similar

to

hives .. that is even more of a surprise to me.

 

First .. it would be interesting to know WHICH Origanum they gave you .. and if

it

was a TRUE Origanum. There are many out and about that are not .. some folks

sell

the so-called Spanish, Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican " Oregano " which is NOT an

Origanum .. its merely a plant oil high in carvacrol. Its Lippia gravelons.

 

Secondly .. though some folks have said they take Origanum in capsules I would

NEVER

consider that. I do not believe that a capsule exists that would not be melted

in a

short time with a true Origanum.

 

Also .. keep in mind that one does not have to ingest Origanum to gain

therapeutic

value .. merely sniffing it is sufficient. The whole idea behind Aromatherapy

is the

introduction of volatile molecules from distilled plant matter into the body

through

the olfactory system .. and it works. Was a time I ingested a drop of two in a

spoon

of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil .. and I might do so again if I felt I needed to

gargle it

down the old tube to the meat bag .. but I think I now prefer a drop or two in a

nice

lentil soup .. helps the taste considerably and provide the needed therapeutic

value.

 

On the Idma List now (which I can access to read but I can't reply while I am in

a

travel status and operating from my server's Post Office) they are discussing

lower

back pains .. basically, they are discussing spasms though they haven't made

that too

clear methinks. As one who has periodic bouts with a psyatic nerve .. pardon

the

spelling but I just found out that my folks do not have a friggin dictionary

here in

the store .. :-( .. I'll tell those who have been fortunate enough to not have

experienced this that it is a mogengater fer'shur. A couple of times a year I

roll

out of the bed and then pull myself up off the floor by hanging onto furniture.

 

Well .. a year or so past I discovered the fantastic antispasmodic properties of

Origanum .. just sniff it on a cloth for a minute of so and within 5-10 minutes

the

pain stops. That is a GUARANTEE!!!!!!!!

 

Part II:

 

> Yes I`ve quit I`m too afraid to take it I was a scatching fool (:>

 

Gonna be interesting to see if it goes away .. but if I had to place odds I'd

lean

HEAVILY toward the fact that a TRUE, PURE Origanum will NOT cause such a

reaction.

 

> I have never taken oregano oil before, I have never been alergic to anything

that I > can remember of either. I thought it was the hives but it seems like

everywhere > there was a welp I now have a rash is this how the hives do??

 

Could be .. I've never had them nor seen them and don't have my medical

dictionary

here .. its in my office in Turkey.

 

> I am not a sick person as a rule and don`t go to drs. so I can use all the

help I > can get.

 

You didn't say (or I missed it) what the problem was in the first place .. why

you

felt a need to take Origanum. You weren't feeling well .. but what do you think

the

problem was? Origanums are HIGHLY anti-microbial .. I have kicked colds and

strep in

12-18 hours consistently .. and though we can't really kill a virus we can cause

it

to stop reproducing and go back into retrograde .. this is highly effective

during

flu season and we have had great success in my office in avoiding long-term

effects

of flu whilest folks around us were dropping like flies.

 

I am wondering what they gave you .. and in what kind of container it had been

stored

prior to you getting it .. and how long it had been in the " capsule. "

 

NEVER have I heard of a negative reaction to Origanum .. but there is a first

time

for everything. Still .. I am not leaning toward that being the cause of the

reaction.

 

> Thank you

> Sandra

 

Welcome fer'shur .. get well soon .. and keep smiling. :-)

First I would like to thank everyone that has answered my plea for help, Butch I

was getting a cold and so since eveyone talked so highly of oregano oil thought

I`d try it, I don`t know that this was it just that it is the only thing [that I

can think of ] that I`ve done different. I also live on a farm and have lots of

animals and am around lots of weeds so who know what I`ve been into. I have been

ok all day and now it is coming back, I have been under alot of stress in the

last few months and some of my friends think it could be my nerves, husband had

a 5 way by-pass my mom a stroke and is now in my care I lost my nephew and a

cousin it has been a really bad year so maybe it is nerves, but why now when

things are getting better?Just wanted to see what y`all thought.

On the bottle it says it is oil of oregano extract [Origanum vulgare 150 mg in

a base of extra virgin olive oil , the company is Solaray. Butch let me know

when you get back home and I`ll order some from you.

Thanks

Sandra
