Oil of Oregano

I think I may have found my baking soda of oils. Oil of oregano does so many things for our bodies just like baking soda does for cleaning the house. This product can be purchased as a liquid or capsule/tablet. The oil shouldn't be confused with the spice we commonly use on pizza.

The benefits of this oil just seem to be ongoing. It destroys organisms that cause skin infections and digestive problems, strengthens immune system, increase joint and muscle flexibility, and improves respiratory health. It is an anti inflammatory, slows down aging, protects from certain cancers, and many other benefits such as psoriasis, eczema, flu, athletes foot and food poisoning.

When taking oil of oregano you should dilute it in juice, milk, olive oil, or coconut oil. Oregano oil reduces the body's ability to absorb iron so you should take an iron supplement as well. People with allergies to thyme, basil, mint, or sage may be sensitive to this product. You should always follow the instructions on the bottle.

If you are giving this to your children you should take their age into consideration. With children 5-10 years old you should use one drop mixed with juice or milk and have them drink it 1-3 times per day. Don't exceed 7-10 days of use. With children ten and older use 3 drops of oil three times per day in juice or milk. With younger children you should use the oil externally. From 6 months old to five years dilute one part oil of oregano in four parts olive oil and apply to the soles of feet and spine. You can also add a few drops to warm bath water with bath salts. For children 5 and older you can use oil directly from bottle on soles and spine but you should dilute for sensitive skin.

As pregnant women shouldn't use this product I won't be using it at this time but I will be in a couple months. We need all we can right now to protect us from the winter sicknesses!
