Not suprised a'tall here. ;-p I have the same results .. when I feel a Big Bad Bug coming on I know how to kick his butt in a matter of hours ..

Might be a virus .. some virus will not respond to Oregano .. and there are a few, though rare they are, bacterial critters that won't .. but really they are rare. But also a virus might explain the stomach pains. Of course .. the ulcer might be the reason but I don't think Oregano is going to adversely affect an ulcer .. fact is, Oregano is (according to some of the smart professors in Turkey) great for calming upset stomachs and reducing the stomach acid. > So I would not say I had a reaction, obviously I just can't take > the oregano orally. Gea Sounds like a good decision methinks .. and I think sniffing it is NOT going to cause any problems even if the cause is a critter that doesn't respond and you don't get relief. But .. wishing you a speedy recovery. :-) Y'all keep smiling. Butch http://www.AV-AT.com ** Who is REALLY out the door now ..

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Another way of using e.o, Oregano successfully. I have a friend with an extremely compromised body and major health issues. What we have found effective for her is to dilute the e.o. Oregano to about 20% with whatever cooking oil is available. Then, apply and massage into the soles of the feet, palms of the hands and behind the ears three to four times daily. An effect was almost instantaneously observed. This method has gone a long way in helping to clear up a complicated microbial stew well out of control.

That seems pretty strong, and by the way it's only been tested as a non-sensitiser to 2% (P.24 'Plant Aromatics', Martin Watt) Would hate to run the risk of them becoming sensitized and not being able to use it again.

Hi I thought the same thing when I read the 20%. I'm hoping it's a typo for 2%. That aside, I think a 20% dilution would be burning/painful, wouldn't it? To both the massager and the massagee --ouch! http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
