Topic: Wild Oregano Oil - Super Duper Cure for Bugs, Viruses

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to quickly share a health-oriented tip for you that really works.

Whenever I am fighting off a cold, flu, or any virus or bacterial illness, I tend to use echinacea as a short-term immune booster (take the liquid tincture form, about a dropper full twice a day) and I also use colloidal silver (take a dropper full twice a day.)  Each is really good at going after different bugs and viruses.  But they don't work on everything.

Case in point. This past week my honey came down very rapidly (very quick onset) with a bronchitis type of bug. And while we dosed him up with the above things, neither did much good for him and he still manifested the full form hacking sneezing stuff bronchitis is infamous for. He went to his doctor and got a short-term round of powerful antibiotics, which knocked it out.

I knew that I'd be fighting off the bug and realized that sometimes echinacea and colloidal silver are only useful right BEFORE you get sick, at the very early stages of a cold or a flu. Usually you can take them after you come down with something and still minimize the length and severity of the illness. But whatever my honey came down with was very resistant to these remedies.

Then I finally remembered wild oregano essential oil. Wild oregano oil is an extremely powerful essential oil with a strong, menthol type of smell and taste.  This is an oil that is proven to kill a huge variety of bugs (both viruses and bacteria) on contact.  To the extent that if you spray it in the air in a sick room at a hospital, it kills the germs in the air itself. Supposedly it's one of those oils that if you diffuse it in the air of your home it will fight hardcore stuff like bubonic plague or bird flu or whatever the killer disease of the moment is.

Taken internally, it is a WHAM BAM solution to a lot of contagious things like flus and bronchitis.  I had completely forgotten about it. 

You have to be very careful when taking it. It is strong and noxious smelling and tasting and you don't want to take too much of it.  You can buy it at a health food store - you're looking for "Wild Mediterranean Oregano Oil." It will come with a dropper in the bottle. Measure out TWO DROPS ONLY into a glass of water (you could also drink it with another drink to better disguise the taste.) More drops is really too strong and can send you into a detox process where you don't feel so good.  But two drops is just perfect.  (This is for an adult of average to big size. If you are extremely petite and thin you might want to go with one drop.)

Drink this once a day when you feel a bug or a cold or a flu coming on.  I like to do it for at least three days straight to make sure whatever I'm fighting off is truly GONE.  But you can take it for up to a week. Longer is a bit too strong on the system.

The wild oregano stopped this bug in its tracks and I didn't get sick even though my honey was hacking all over me every night with some major projectile mucus!  smile  (Lovely, I know!)

So I wanted to share that with you. You can also use wild oregano oil as a general immune system booster or detoxification herb, but I don't like to use too much of it because I worry that it's just TOO powerful if you're not really sick. 

Obviously, read up and do your research, etc. and yada yada insert medical disclaimer here and don't sue me for offering this anecdotal advice. smile

Okay, that's my tip for the day! Go and be healthy.

PS During this time I could feel my body ALMOST come down with the bronchitis and then when I went on the wild oregano it was like it sucked it out of my system and dried it up.  I forgot how truly amazing this stuff is. I've used it in the past but for some reason haven't thought to use it in the last year or so and have just stuck to colloidal silver and echinacea, which unfortunately can't fight off everything.

i use it diluted wuth extra virgin olive oil.. and it still is strong.

Re: Wild Oregano Oil - Super Duper Cure for Bugs, Viruses

I was told to put two drops directly under the tongue and THEN drink a glass of water.

I don't think I'll do that anymore.  Noxious is right!

Thanks for the heads up, LM.  Hope your honey's feeling better.

Re: Wild Oregano Oil - Super Duper Cure for Bugs, Viruses

I get mine from survival products, it's called infinity oregano oil.  I dilute it 4:1 with olive oil. If you add it to water it won't disperse properly for oral use. However, it can be added to hot water and the vapors inhaled. Never take this stuff orally without diluting it first unless you want to burn your mouth out.

lilmomma, try this product line in a gel cap form it's easy to take and won't send you running. Your local health food store should carry it I live on it.

Thanks LipstickMystic for posting this!  I have been trying to fight off an upper respiratory infection for the last 2 weeks.  I can feel it trying to settle down into my lungs, my breathing is a little tight.  I'm trying a mixture of herbs that is supposed to clear breathing.  Next time I go to the store I'll pick up some oregano oil.

I have an earache/congestion in both ears, do you know anything that is really good for this?  I have lots of trouble with my ears.  I have taken homeopathic Calcium Carbonica for it, and is pretty effective over time, but I'd like to find something I can actually put in my ears to clear them out to relieve the pain.  Regular ear drops with garlic and olive oil just aren't helping enough.

Re: Wild Oregano Oil - Super Duper Cure for Bugs, Viruses

Good info LM, i posted this in the health section somewhere a while ago though not under that title,oregano oil is one of the most potent natural anti viral, anti pathogen you can get hold of, far exceeding even garlic, Keep a bottle for emergencies. Only take it when you are really sick though as its medicine not food and will kill of friendly bacteria in the gut too. 4 drops 3 times a day is about the max dose though.
Tastes vile and far too strong to take directly so i would put 4 drops in a spoonful of hemp seed oil and take it like that.

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

Re: Wild Oregano Oil - Super Duper Cure for Bugs, Viruses

Oil of oregano is great!  I discovered it years ago and with it I've managed to beat many bugs before they got me. smile
I actually don't mind the taste at all anymore... right under the tongue with those drops and away i go.

great thread tho.. i'm sure lots of people have never heard of it

Re: Wild Oregano Oil - Super Duper Cure for Bugs, Viruses

This is the first time I've heard of it. I'll definitely keep this in mind if myself or someone else I know comes down with a nasty cold and to ward away one if you can feel it creeping up on you.

Put 2 0r 3 drops in an empty gelatin capsule and swallow it with water if you'd
rather not even taste it.

This stuff really works.

Re: Wild Oregano Oil - Super Duper Cure for Bugs, Viruses

I guess I'm the only one that takes way more than 2-3 drops undiluted at once and likes it? Wimps! My friend once told me when I was sick, to take 2-3 drops under the tongue 3 times a day, and follow it with 8 drops in a glass of water diluted and drink it down, 3 times a day... I agree the stuff works... I was using Oreganol (edit yeah that p73 link above from beljar), the regular stuff, they also had some super concentrated form, so maybe the stuff I have was more diluted already than what all y'all were taking? Anyways I like the way it tastes.
