Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Is it straight oil of oregano or is it mixed with olive oil or some other oil? If it's straight, you want to mix 1 drop of it with 10 drops of olive oil and then put it in a large sized capsule. If it's already mixed, you still want to put it in a capsule. The stuff can burn! I mix a batch and fill a lot of capsules at once. Get an eye dropper and mix one dropper full with 10 droppers of oil or in multiples of that. We use it in the winter to help prevent/treat colds. It's good stuff! Liz > > I just got some capsules today at WFs =) Should I take them orally or > just put the oil on my throat?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I had great success with oil of oregano. Just make sure it's the right kind. It should say origanum vulgare. Which is different from just regular old oregano oil. Yes, it burns... but just swallow the capsuls then watch out for the reflux you might get from it. I had a short period of remission from this stuff when I first got UC. I wasn't taking anything or on any diets... only oil of oregano. Can't do any harm, it kills the bad pathogens. You can also use it topically on your skin for rashes, ect.-UC - 1 yearSCD - 3.5 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 4 pills 3 times a day - hopefully scd will help me get off these!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Alyssa, Start out with like an 8th of the suggested amount and if it doesn't give you die off hell proceed with upping the dosage. It is powerful stuff! Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 This is the brand I use... from Whole Foods. I think I used WAAAAYYYY TOOOO MUUCCCHHH and that's what caused so much die off in me. When I get brave enough to try again, I'll start with one drop at a time. Alyssa, the taste isn't that bad. I WOULD NOT take a whole capsule.
