Infections: do you dare the essential oil of oregano?

The first time I used oregano essential oil, I was abroad for professional reasons.

I don't know what took me. Was it the youth, lag, 15 hours of flight, tropical wetness, the Mojito cocktail loaded, creatures that appear in the darkness?

Is that pressed to end with this cough that prevented me from weeks to say three words, I accepted a sugar on which my host had paid four drops of essential oil of oregano (well, hold four )).

Instantly, I thought I was going to have to be repatriated emergency air ambulance in Europe.

My two eyes flowed, that I say, pissaient jets of tears. My language and my palet burned more: I thought that they had been removed.

"If it hurts, it is that it is good."

As with all essential oils, nothing is more unnerving that read or consult a collection, both the alleged positive effects list is long. The fall of hair to typhus, passing by the menstrual pain, essential oil of oregano heals so much... lost and more believes.

Always is my painful experience with oregano oil well ended:

After about 15 minutes of suffering, you understood it, atrocious, blight decreased to make way for an impression of anesthesia. My cough, she had not disappeared, and I completed the evening resigned to seek a safer remedy. It was unnecessary, since I woke up, the next day, completely healed.

It seems that oil of oregano is indeed infection, which is his first indication. In any case, this experience has confirmed the favorite saying of my grandmother: "If it hurts, it is that it is good."

How not to make the same mistake

You can use the essential oil of oregano without suffering the same disadvantages as me.

First, there is a question of dose: four drops are not useful or even recommended. Two drops are more than sufficient.

Then, do not like me the error to take on a sugar. Far better, dilute the essential oil of oregano in an another oil, as the oil of sweet almond or indeed any food oil. Dilute the 20% maximum (that is to say a drop of essential oil of oregano to 4 drops of cooking oil), and put this mixture on a piece of bread.

You can further reduce the risk of burning by taking the essential oil of oregano capsules, at the rate of three per day, on the advice of your therapist. The added benefit is that you are so sure to have the right balance. Each capsule contains then around 45 mg of oil of oregano standardised to provide 70% of carvacrol, a phenolic compound known for its anti-infective properties in wide spectrum of action.

Finally remember that essential oils are generally neither children or pregnant women. And this is particularly true for the oregano, which should never be given to pregnant women or nursing mothers. Essential oils are hazardous products, especially if you you put them in the eyes. The only thing to do then is you rinse with water (it does nothing) but with food oil.

These precautions being taken, I encourage you to buy a small bottle of essential oil of oregano and make your own experiences with. It is a powerful cure. Have the always at hand, and use this whenever you cough, spit, mouchez or you show other signs of infection, before you rush on chemical drugs.

The essential oil of oregano to all sauces

More learning by heart the encyclopedic lists of indications on the virtues of real or imagined of essential oils, it is in fact by the practice that you will soon learn to serve you for you and your entourage.

Indeed the problem is that the list of indications is incredibly long and varied. I find not credible to say that a single product can have many different uses. In addition, aromatherapy (the art of using essential oils), are often mixtures that are recommended. The number of possible combinations is unlimited, and all do not work with everyone.

Therefore, you must make your own experiences. However, without guarantee that it works every time, you will be perhaps interested to know that, according to the website "The art of living healthy" (1), the essential oil of oregano:
 ->fight viral and bacterial, infections
 ->increases the power of the immune system;
 ->eases the congestion of the lungs and sinuses and relieves coughs;
 ->helps to treat bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia and colds of hay fever;
 ->reduces acne and unblocks pores;
 ->heals dry skin, infections, insect bites;
 ->psoriasis and eczema, relieves sunburn;
 ->combat the fungus under the nails of the feet and hands;
 ->relieves indigestion, nausea, diarrhea and gas.
 ->relaxing the digestive system and reduces pain and discomfort;
 ->destroys candida albicans and parasitic infections;
 ->heals urinary tract infections, and the fire wild;
 ->the pain and infection of the teeth and gums, abscess;
 ->cleans teeth (oregano powder) and refreshes the breath;
 ->stimulates digestion, opens the appetite and has a beneficial action on the liver;
 ->encourages the coming of the rules, also calm menstrual pain;
 ->stimulates regrowth of hair;
 ->calm the itching and insect bites;
 ->fight against spasmodic pain, fatigue and stress.

It would be "as effective as antibiotics but without their disadvantages (poisoning of the body and especially liver) to combat bacterial infections, viruses, fungi and parasites."

Any program, which is well worth a few euros that will cost you a vial of 10 mL of oil of oregano.
