Oregano oil kills bacteria, viruses, bacterias and viruses. So, internally it can help kill off any bad bacterias or funguses.

Web MD suggested the following. Taken by mouth for intestinal parasite. Cold and flu. Arthritis. On skin for acne dandruff wart insect bite cerixosis vein muscle pain. Check webmd.com. However it is too strong for me to use it internally. I would be careful.

You can look it up online but for us...we use it as soon as we START to feel like we are getting a cold or flu...my neighbor uses it ...daily which I wouldn't do cause of what I read but he has gone through 2 bottles and not seen any problems but he takes for allergies and not getting colds ;-)

Of course--that is the main use of oil-of-oregano. The main thing that you and everyone else must understand is that this is NOT to be used without at least a 2:1 ratio of olive-oil and oil-of-oregano. If you put this on your skin or internally at full-strength, you WILL have problems immediately, so just be smart and understand that this is NOT an already prepared mixture of olive-oil and oil-of-oregano, but is PURE oil-of-oregano, with an average percentage of carvacrol at 84/5%, which is very close to the most that you are able to purchase, anywhere. What I have found is that applying the mixture to nail fungus and to itchy patches on the skin, destroys the infection, and after about five days of applying twice per day, using coconut-oil until fully-healed is the best way to use this product when not needed for infection, internally. Now, nail-fungus may need longer to treat, but from my experience about one week of two applications per day is what worked for me.

I recommend NOT using any cooking oils, such as olive oil, vegetable oil, sesame oil & the like! Citrus oils are fine, in fact, one of my favorite blends are, Lemmon & pepperment combo.Oh, as for the oil issue I'm just kidding!

You can use it straight from the bottle but you may want to dilute it if you are putting the oil on your temples(if you have a headache) because the scent may be a bit strong for some people and it may feel warm. If you dilute, you can use coconut oil or olive oil.

I use oils topically and in a diffuser. Be careful with topical application as some oils are classified as "hot," which means they can irritate skin and tissue. They need to be diluted with a carrier oil. Just go back to their web site or google each oils before using until you get to know them. Internal use of essential oils is controversial. Some companies recommend internal use, but many clinical people advise against it. Again do your homework, thoroughly, particularly before ingesting essential oils.

I've read that some people have used a few drops of olive oil. However, I haven't tried it myself.

This is the email I got from them about internally using their oils. "The internal use question is one we get quite often. Because many people use essential oils for self-medication and we are not licensed aromatherapists, we have to be very careful with the freedom given people in this respect. We do not know what medications, quantities and allergies people may have. We put "for external use" on our labeling for our own liability. This is very common practice in the US and many other companies that sell therapeutic grade oils, also put this on their labeling. Essential oils are highly concentrated and have the capacity to cause serious damage if used internally without the necessary expertise required in administering it. This is supported by the International Federation of Aromatherapists that does not recommend ingestion of essential oils unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical aromatherapy. That being said, many of our loyal customers use our oils internally since they are the highest quality available, but we leave this up to the customer. "

I wouldn't recommend ingesting any Essential Oils as they are not regulated by any pharmaceutical company. I firmly believe in using it for aroma therapy only.

Yes! You will need to use a carrier oil if you plan on putting this anywhere topically. You could order your carrier oil or buy it at any health food store as well. It's not as expensive as the thieves so I just get mine at a local place. Jajoba, vitamin E and almond oil are good ones to use, whichever you prefer! (Thieves can be used internally as well. Just put 1-2 drops in an empty glass and then add water to mix and drink.

I used the Neutrogena sesame oil long ago. I LOVED that stuff, but there are many additives in it if I recall. Avocado oil is additive-free and I completely love it and know what it is! A little goes a long way. I use it on skin and on my hair (I use it with castor oil for the oil cleanse).

I buy empty capsules and put frankincense along with oregano and 4 thieves to fight infection and inflammation. You can apply it straight, but I think I would dilute it with some olive oil first. If you inhale the aroma, it goes straight to you system (like nicotine from a cigarette, and NO I do NOT smoke). Just to illustrate. Eating meat and sugar causes inflammation in the body that we're unaware of a lot of times. I take it for this reason also.

I have read that any basic oil would work but the fragrance additives etc. I would be more trusting of using mineral oil. I have used olive oil in the past as well but more expensive than mineral oil.

Hello, from my experience if the bottle has the P73 rating on it, it's good. P73 is the original wild oregano oil blend. They are all the same regardless of the labeling. I have bought from different stores, different prices. You can spend $35 on a bottle. You can get the same oregano oil at a cheaper price. P73 should be on the label somewhere.

Yes. I use the oil at night before bed. Try to use something with Tea Tree in it. That seems to work for me.

No, it mentions you may use it when diluted but it is intended for auromatherapy. If you mean therapeutic in terms of using it for buety products or internally you will want therapeutic/food grade oil, its harder to find and more expensive.

As far as my experience, I have used several different oils...lavender, lemon, Thieves, etc. with great results.

I've tried this, and another brand. I would have to say that this one is 100% oil of oregano. I would be suprised if I was wrong, but if you send a message to the seller, they should be able to give you a definite answer.
