Using the Right Oil of Oregano Dosage For Best Results

Looking for the most effective way to use Oil of Oregano?

What's a safe Oil of Oregano dosage?

Here's some recommendations based on my experience and manufacturers' suggestions.

Walk into any health food store and you'll find Oil of Oregano available in liquid and capsules.

What's the best way to use this healthy oil?

Some people use both forms at the same time.

For example, many will treat toe nail fungus with topical application of oil on the nail bed and ingesting capsules to treat the condition from within.

Below is more detailed information based on my personal experiences and available research.

Taking Liquid Oil of Oregano by Mouth

Many people use this method for treating infection-type conditions, such as colds and flus.

Recommmended Adult Oil of Oregano Dosage by Mouth:

• 4 - 6 drops (about 50 mg. of 100% pure Oil of Oregano, diluted with a carrier oil such as olive oil. A safe blend is 1 part oregano oil to 3 parts olive oil).

Stronger mixtures may cause upset stomach. Read the label to see what the ratio of oil is. Most reputable companies will list it.

If your Oil of Oregano is already mixed with a carrier oil, you don't need to dilute it further unless it is a more stronger mix.

• Suggested frequency is 3 - 6 time per day, depending on the severity of the infection. I've taken it up to 10 times a day to help fight off a nasty case of bronchitis.

• For preventative uses, some suggest taking 1 - 4 drops per day, held under the tongue for a few minutes, followed by a glass of water.

If you've ever eaten spicy food, then you'll be familiar with that warm tingling sensation in your mouth. Liquid Oil of Oregano will leave a similar sensation when taken by mouth.

Drink some milk or chew on some bread if you find it the oil too spicy for you. Using water may just thin out the oil and spread it around your mouth. If you find it too spicy try using Oil of Oregano capsules.

Topical Application of Liquid Oil of Oregano

Historically, the liquid oregano oil was used on the skin to treat various conditions such as joint pain, insect bites, sore muscles and skin rashes.

Typical liquid Oil of Oregano dosage was a drop or two on the affected area and gently massaged in.

Wait a few minutes before wearing clothes to allow the oil to absorb into your skin. You don't want to use too much as the oregano smell can get quite strong.

My wife, Joy, had a small red patch of itchy skin on her leg. She applied Oil of Oregano on it and it reduced the redness.

Only problem was she thought if a little works this well, a lot will work even better. Not so! The smell of oregano was so overpowering, it filled the whole room!

Remember that a little goes a long way. Just a dab will work wonders.

Taking Oil of Oregano by Capsule

What's the most effective Oil of Oregano dosage by capsule?

I did some research and found few studies on the best Oil of Oregano dosage. Some studies had used up to 600 mg. of Oil of Oregano per day and some used lower amounts.

There is no current standard effective dosage.

Taking more is not always better and you must be aware of possible side effects from Oil of Oregano.

Conclusions:

There are no documented studies on the one single dose that's most effective when taking Oil of Oregano.

Use common sense and don't exceed the manufacturer's recommended dosages.

This natural antibiotic is one of the most powerful and useful natural remedies available. Enjoy using Oil of Oregano safely and I hope you get as many benefits as I have from using it.
