Oregano - A Wonder EO

[Guest guest]

Hey y'all,

 

Because I've been writing on the Origanums for many years .. Chris asked

me if I was gonna join in since we're wrapping up the Oil of the Week,

which is Oregano.

 

In the Oils & Herbs Archive y'all can find probably more than 100 posts,

to include personal testimonials, I've written on Oregano over the many

years .. so I see no need to repeat any of this. I will answer any

questions anyone has on the subject.

 

Now I will lay out another personal testimonial on use of Oregano .. one

that is less than 48 hours old. Here in Turkey one can purchase ANY

prescription drug without a prescription from ANY pharmacy .. and it is

a norm for affluent Turks to live on antibiotics .. the village folks

normally can't afford them. I haven't taken an over the counter (except

for aspirin) or prescription drug .. or visited a medical doctor except

for routine physicals .. in ten years or so. The Turkish villagers and I

are generally the healthiest folks here .. I rarely get sick.

 

Last Friday night Anna and I went to dinner and I took her home afore

midnight. Maybe an hour or so later I was working at my PC and started

to have the worst chills I can ever recall. I was wearing PJs then so I

grabbed a thick heavy robe .. pretty soon I was sweating like mad and

shaking like I've seen soldiers shake AFTER a fire fight. Scared the

crap out of me.

 

I couldn't stop shaking .. I popped two aspirin and tried to sniff a

bottle of Oregano but my hand was shaking too badly to keep it from

spilling. I climbed under a goose down comforter and was still shaking.

It was tiring .. wearing me out. A few minutes later Anna called and

learned what was going down .. so she came over and brought some chicken

soap .. the typical remedy of her folks (though she is a Christian she's

Russian Jewish on her father's side) and in fact, its good medicine.

 

I had some soup .. spiced with a couple of drops of Oregano EO .. not

something that really goes well with chicken soup but at that time it

mattered not. I had some Linden Blossom Tea and a bit later a big

glass of tomato juice with a drop of Oregano EO in it. Hit the rack

around 4 in the morning .. got up around noon Saturday. I was still a

tad feverish but not aching or shaking and no chills .. and through all

this there was no cough or sore throat .. just fever, chills and total

exhaustion. I continued to sniff Oregano on and off Saturday and that

night. This morning .. I woke up feeling like I normally do .. finer'n

frog hair split three ways. Whatever had grabbed me was history!

 

My points are .. Origanum is a wonder unto itself .. much scientifically

supported data on its capability to kick a laundry list of Big Bad Bug

Butts .. however .. we do NOT have to take it in capsules or ingest it

neat to get good results. There are many novels out .. one is written

on Oregano only by an ex-doctor who sells it .. that recommend massive

ingestion. Sniffing will do the job! I have no qualms recommending

folks spice up their food with a small tad of a safe and pure EO ..

including the Origanums or Rosemary, Cineole (also a Big Bad Bug Butt

Kicker) .. but spicing our foods is far different than ingesting neat or

even partially diluted EO. Use of EO in food preparation is a norm in

my home .. matter of fact, the lion's share of the EO produced is used

in the Flavoring and Cosmetics industries .. but we do NOT have to

ingest to get good results.
