One study examined the relationship between oregano oil and harmful organisms and found that taking 600 mg of oregano oil daily prompted a complete disappearance of harmful organisms in the body. I started dosing with 1 drop under the tongue x 3 daily. Then worked up to 3 drops x 3 daily quite quickly. 1 or 2 drops rubbed into a sore tooth x 3 daily, same for skin irritations.

Easily Grow Your Own Organic Oregano! I would recommend the Greek oregano, which only grows about 18 inches tall. Avoid the taller 4-foot plants (Oregano vulgare) as they do not seem to make as effective essential oils as the smaller variety. A good point of reference is to grab a leaf off a prospective plant, crush or bruise the leaf a little, then smell it. If the smell is strong, and especially if you can already smell the gorgeous, clean oregano aroma BEFORE you crush the leaf, then you're onto a good variety! This is a hardy plant that likes to grow in full sun with a moderate amount of water. Oregano oil is an absolute must-have item for any natural health medicine cabinet and emergency kit. The array of benefits it offers makes it one of the best all-around supplements you can get. Remember, as with any health product, quality matters tremendously — only invest in high quality oregano oil supplements that are organic and produced by a reputable, trustworthy source.
