Essential oils can be safely diffused or applied topically when used appropriately. The recommended dilution ratio for babies under 3 months old is.25, which is 1 drop per 4 teaspoons carrier oil. However, it is never safe for babies to take essential oils orally. Aromatherapy can encourage the use of essential oils, but the safety of oregano for infants, especially those as young as 2 months old, warrants careful consideration.
Oregano is a safe herb to give to your baby as long as they are at least six months old. However, it is important to dilute the oil before applying it to your skin using any cold-pressed, seed-based carrier oil. For example, oregano essential oil is not safe for babies and children because it is a hot oil. Tea tree oil has the same benefits but is far safer for children.
Essential oils with strong, cooling, hot, or spicy aromas, such as Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Oregano, should be avoided around children. There is a limit to the essential oils that are safe to use on babies and essential oils with strong, cooling, hot, or spicy aromas should be avoided.
For all children under the age of 2, it is not recommended to use essential oils. If necessary, do not use more than 5 drops per 50 ml of oil, regardless of the age. Homephatic cold remedies like 0-9 kids and coryzalia work great for babies.
Other oils considered strong antimicrobials (cinnamon bark, clove, oregano) are much more potent in terms of skin irritation. Other oils should be avoided for topical use and diffused with caution.

How much oil of oregano for a child?
Essential oils can be applied topically, inhaled by diffusion, or internally ingested. Topical administration allows for one person to be treated at a time, while diffusion involves everyone in the room receiving the administration. To apply topically, use a diluent, such as coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or olive oil. Fractionated coconut oil is recommended for its antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Young children should use no less than 5 drops of diluent for every 1 drop of essential oil.
Diffusing essential oils is helpful for treating everyone in the room, but should not be used by children 7 years of age or younger or pregnant women. Some essential oil professionals recommend ingesting no more than 3 drops of an essential oil three times a day, but this is oversimplified as every oil is unique and can affect the body differently. When ingesting, consult a medical professional or aromatherapist.
Certified therapeutic grade essential oils are essential, but some oils may have added ingredients and diluents, making them less pure. Young Living, DoTerra, Mountain Rose Herbs, and Vintage Remedies are recommended, but it is important to research and make choices that are comfortable with the benefits of essential oils.

Essential oils are not safe for babies until they reach at least two years of age. Aromatherapy, a popular relaxation strategy, has been shown to reduce stress perception and cortisol levels. However, Diane Hindman, MD, PharmD, a board-certified pediatrician, medical toxicologist, and registered pharmacist, advises against using essential oils around babies. To ensure safety, babies should wait until they are 2-3 years old to use essential oils around them. This is to avoid exposing babies to harmful chemicals and toxins.
Is oregano essential oil safe?
Oregano oil, while beneficial for skin issues like acne, can irritate sensitive skin. It’s advised not to apply undiluted oregano oil directly to the skin and to patch test any products containing it. Further research is needed on its human skin irritation. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid oregano oil. It’s also advised to avoid oregano oil if taking a diuretic, as it may worsen side effects and interfere with lithium and similar medications.
📹 Keep Those Germs Away With Oil of Oregano
Oil of Oregano is pure magic to me. Since learning about it and trying it in my personal life, I have been able to “nip in the butt” 4 …
I’ve been using oregano oil as an antibiotic for 15 years. Once I had a badly infected tooth, the dentist in TX wanted me to go on antibiotics for 2 weeks before they would pull the tooth. My jaw was swollen, very painful and I was going to be heading back to IN the next day. I had to sign a waiver for them to pull it right then. I was an hours drive to get to the truck stop close to my delivery point. Once there I pulled the gauze out, squirted the oregano oil in the hole and let it sit there as long as I could, swished it around in my mouth and spit it out. I filled the hole with oil again and hit the bunk. Next morning, no swelling, no bleeding, no pain and it was already healing up! No prescription antibiotic would heal so quickly! It’s AMAZING stuff!! YES, it tastes NASTY and burns a bit, but VERY effective! I can deal with that! Some people put the oil in capsules. I prefer having control over how much I use depending on what it’s needed for. Oregano oil is the strongest antibiotic I know of and was always on the truck with me. The ingredients should be only oregano leaf oil and extra virgin olive oil (the carrier oil). ***CAUTION!!!*** KNOW HOW to use these oils BEFORE using. They are VERY powerful!!
The part of oil of oregano that you want to function as your antibiotic is called Carvacrol, it disrupts the membrane on the bacteria you mentioned in the article. The thymol is actually something you want very low value of in your oil. While carvacrol is non-toxic, thymol has a high degree of toxicity (to the heart and to the liver), so please be aware of that. Ideally, the levels should be less than 2%. In a good oil of oregano capsule (easiest way to take it, you get less than 2% thymol and more than 80% carvacrol. You want to purchase your oil from a company that tests each batch they make for the accurate percentages. Some oils can have more than 35% thymol and that is concentration is poisonous). Thymol is good against worms. Literally. It used to be the go to treatment for hookworm and today its used in preventing food spoilage because its great against mites and mold. Its also used as an antiseptic. Its also a good combo with antibiotics when fighting bacteria ingested with spoiled foodstuffs. However it is TOXIC to humans in high concentrations. Do NOT ingest oil of oregano high in percentage of Thymol. Zane Hellas is a good brand out of Greece. I Use a mouthwash for nipping things in the bud when my throat hurts. That also helps against gingivitis btw, but you cannot mix oil and water. Oil and water doesnt mix no matter how much you want it to. Use a prepared mouthwash so that no part of your gums are exposed to 100% strong oil of oregano, as it will give you a chemical burn.
Oregano oil is great. My wife grows Oregano in her herb garden. Want to tell you a story about Cloves. Natasha is Russian so when she speaks I listen. I got a terrible infection under a crown and went to the dentist. He said that I needed root canals on all three of the roots under the crown. He gave me the phone number of a specialist 90 miles away and estimated the cost around $6,000.00. When I came home and told my wife she said “Are they crazy?” I said “I wasn’t sure!” So then she said gargle with a 50% dilution of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. Then take a “Gum” soft pick and dip it into a paste with water and baking soda and clean between the teeth next to the infected crown. Then she said to chew on a whole Clove with the infected crown. I did this for 3 days and the terribly painful infection went away!
The one MISSING piece of information from this article is the way Oregano Oil should be taken or consumed or applied. Examples of when to take Oregano Oils…when not to take them. Is it safe for children and if so how young? I believe a more thorough article would be helpful Dr. Berg. Thank you for putting such a article out to spread the knowledge of health and wellness worldwide.
i knew about the powers of Oil of Oregano and we even had our students experiment with it in the lab, putting all kinds of germs on agar dishes, etc. The OO killed everything much faster and spread further than any of the standard antibiotics. So when ‘C’ started I bought a bunch for the whole family. My daughter got the virus last week and I gave her that along with 3 other natural remedy formulas and she said she was feeling better the next day. I have started taking it for myself for many reasons….thanks for the confirmation!
I’ve been using oregano oil for years. It has to be wild harvested. It is more powerful than cultivated oregano. Also, cultivated oregano can burn the stomach. Wild harvested will not burn the stomach. I put about four drops of the oregano oil in an empty capsule, and sometimes I add three drops of thyme oil frankincense, or tea tree oil.
Such great news! I actually work for an essential oil company and oregano oil is a part of my collection! I am really appreciating your clips on intermittent fasting and keto as I am making some adjustments in my kitchen and my thinking! A surgeon spiritual friend of mine I highly respect recommended I check you out on YouTube and I really appreciate you!!
Hello Dr Berg. I am 71 and take no synthetic pharmaceutical medications. I manage things like blood pressure and the other things using herbs and minerals diet nutrition and exercise. It works well. Throughout our pandemic I did not take one shot and have tested eight times and I’m very healthy. It’s the result of research taking notes and verifying information using at least three sources if possible. Thank you for all you do.
Yes, I love oregano oil. You mentioned using clove, oregano & 1 other oil on another article for antibiotic use. I have done that with oregano & clove for my husbands cough & malaise. It worked well over time. Thank you for your articles. I send them to family & friends frequently. I love how you teach & use the white board. You make it all so easy to understand. You are truly a gift, Dr. Berg, & I hope you keep the articles coming.
Great info as usual from Dr. Berg. I add10-15 drops of oregano oil to my old teapot then add about a quart of water and let that simmer for about a 1/2 an hour, and my head clears up and opens my sinus cavities for hours of relief….The smell lingers for hours after the heat is turned off. The only downside to this is the teapot cant be used for anything else afterward….. a small price for such big rewards.
Sinus infection. Ear infection. Sore throat. Ear ache is off the charts and travels down my jaw & neck and swells my lymph node. This has all been worse since I had cancer. My mama has chronic uti’s – makes her week & confused. I don’t think she has dementia as much as back to back infections. 😢 Praying this helps!!
I had been dealing with digestive issues for three years. I had been tested for coeliac, lactose intolerance, hyplori and still nothing. Not wanting to take medication for something undiagnosed I searched for a natural antibiotic (oil of oregano) within a month my symptoms the pain I had disappeared 😊😊😊😊
The fact that you asked me to evaluate my thoughts on this article, and not asking me to “subscribe and click the ring-bell-butten” gives me a trustworthy feeling that you do this because you know your information, and want to share it – and NOT because you need subscribers to keep you going. Besides that; i like the handwritten lecture structure and the fact that you can draw directly, also the tone and the vibe of this article is very casual and informative. Thank you for that.
Thank you, Dr Berg! I’ve got an oregano plant doing well in my patio garden – just put some in my recent homemade keto pizza. I like to eat some leaves raw, and especially chew on the woody stems, of this herb and others, to get an infusion of nutrients and oils. This article is also timely – I’ll pass this info on to a coworker who has a long running use of antibiotics because of getting tonsillitis since youth. She was saying with latest bout that her doc had her on the wait list to get an approval to remove her tonsils, but I was telling her to instead go on the healthy keto diet and get it and all her organs cleansed and healed naturally!
Great info, and reminder 👍🏼 I remember when I was having a hard time with really bad breath, especially after eating and even after brushing my teeth. That is when I worked my dosage of drops up to 11 in a 40 oz bottle of tepid water; whatever was causing this ungodly smell went away after 4 or 5 days. Of course this was also combined with low carb, no sugar diet 😉 Thank you Dr.Berg 🙏🏽💛🌞
This is a wonderful article. Straight to the point w detailed information for me to follow and do my own continued research. I actually had been using Oregano oil for a few days prior to and after flights but had forgotten to use it as an antibiotic. Thanks Dr. Berg for this detailed info on Oregano oil.
This stuff really works. I started brushing my teeth with it and my dentist was surprised when my gingivitis went away. Use it as soon as a stomach flu gets started and it will be gone in a couple hours. It hardly ever fails. Once a flue is established, it’s a lot harder, but if you get it right when you start feeling symptoms, it will stop it. Couple drops in a cup of water is all it takes. Cheapest medicine available, and potent with no side effects. I use this, and tea tree oil for rashes and infections, especially wood tick bites.
I think this article was an eye opener. I will go out and get this essential oil. I have heard you and other mention this, but, this time it clicked. I use this dry herb almost every day with onions, peppers of all kinds, garlic and tomatoes. My favorite go to for cooking meats and veggies in olive oil of course! Thanks Dr. Berg!
I’ve used oregano oil on any staph breakouts I get, which unfortunately are quite a common occurrence in the sport I do. The combination of ingesting oregano oil and garlic, plus applying tea tree oil/soap topically and of course cutting out sugar makes any infections go away surprisingly quickly. Most people I know will tell you to immediately go on a course of antibiotics at the first sight of an infection, which is a shame.
Dr. Berg. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting accurate health info to us so we can start to take control of our health. I am somebody who believed in doctors but was given a difficult diagnosis and I am finally taking control thanks to some of the info i have learned on this website. We all must be responsible for our health and stop giving our power away.. please don’t stop doing your articles and research.. we need to make america healthy again.
Anyone who suffers from fluid in lungs or has chest infection etc., this helps and fast! I bought a cheap nebulizer on ebay and made a saline solution using Himalayan salt and added about 5 drops of pure Oregano oil to the mix. Immediately took away the irritation, inflammation so I’m not coughing all the time and already feel like I have way more lung capacity. Going to try eucalyptus next.
I just finished 2 rounds of antibiotics to kill off a cellulitis infection. Fortunately, this was my first time ever using antibiotics–so they actually did their job. But I thank you for this tip about the oregano oil because I like having natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals. Also, to anyone taking antibiotics-natural or pharmaceutical-it’s a good idea to take a probiotic as well. I’ve been taking on everyday, about 3 hrs after my first antibiotic dose, and I haven’t had any side effects.
Thank you for the information De. Berg, we have been using oregano oil and garlic as natural antibiotics for a couple of years now. Highly recommend! We use the oregano oil capsules, and for the garlic we use fresh organic garlic. Adults: 3 cloves minced, added to your soup/broth and just have them that way 3xday for at least 3 days. As per the Oregano capsules, follow the instructions in the bottle, we have never had to take it more than 14 days.
Awesome advice, I had been having ear infections back to back, and was looking for alternatives, and stumbled across oregano oil and garlic oil as supplements. Within two weeks my ears felt better and no more infections I had three in two months. I add to meats, eggs, salads, and I try to use every day.
As a 71 year old woman I have been getting chronic UTI’s for several years. I been on practically every antibiotic and they always return. Currently, I take cranberry capsule my doctor recommended every day. I prevent another UTI I’ve been on Methenamine Hipp 2 times a day and I am experiencing a lot of hair loss. My doctor sent out my urine for a 2 week test that says I might have MRSA, but since I have no symptoms he’s not treating me since the number was very low (that didn’t make me happy with him). DO YOU THINK METHENAMINE IS GOOD OR BAD FOR ME TO TAKE? I still experience frequent urination and leaking. I have a dropped bladder and a cystocele. I had a rectocele but last checkup with my Uro/Gyno she didn’t see the rectocele. It can be quite uncomfortable. I said NO to the surgery to fix the rectocele because I refused to be tested for covid. I will stock up on the ingredients you mentioned in this article.
I am so grateful for all the natural options you make people aware of. I have had to take antibiotics often throughout my life and and have become either allergic to, or immune to nearly all of them. There’s actually only two antibiotics left that I am able to take which causes both myself and my doctors a great deal of concern. To know that there’s a natural remedy that won’t hurt me has been extremely helpful. I have used many of your suggestions and had most excellent results. Your YouTube articles are my go to for any illness or ailment I may have. Thank you for all your help. Keep the natural remedies coming.
Another great article, Dr Berg. Can you do a article on what exactly ” natural flavors” are as they relate to food ingredients. I get the feeling they are anything but natural and the couple of times that I have called companies asking what they are they told me they are not allowed to release the information to anyone but my doctor. Sketchy. I would very much like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
I haven’t ingested Oregono oil, but I’ve used it topically for some things and it’s really helped. It makes my acne like fall off, because it’s so powerful it leaves a scar..even with carrier oil. Scars are much easier to treat though. Also helped with my brother’s dandruff and with my mom’s scalp scabs.
Nice article, great new information for me and straight to the point. Good job Dr Berg. I ordered and tried the instant kale chocolate shake. It wasn’t bad at all. It taste good like dark chocolate drink. Thank you so much for educating us on health . May God bless you and your family and give you grace and strength . I also ordered the lemon flavor wheat grass. I’m yet to try it.
My late sister, Joy, was a chiropractor since the 50s in Montreal, PQ (Grad of CMCC in Toronto, ON), but also treated her patients w/herbal concoctions, acupuncture, etc. While studying at CMCC, she also worked part-time for a chiro AND an herbalist!!! She practiced 50 years less 1 week before passing away. She was only about 5′ tall and a petite powerhouse!!! She’d never send anyone away and treated all sizes…which was never an obstacle to her! If someone could not afford treatments, she’d still take care of them until they were totally healed at no cost!!! I sure do LOVE your posts and all the wonderful info to teach/show us how to be healthier and productive in life!!! Many MEGA KUDOS!!!
Hi all, I am one who for everything that is bothering me go to your site!!!! And guest what ? All you recommend and I try ( vitamin A for my constant running nose) worked and helped. Thank you for all your hard work! My friends and my family are going to your vides to and all are very happy with what they learn, becoming life time followers. Just keep adding new articles and we will be here for you. Thank you again!!
I am in the midst of my second UTI. The first one was 50 years ago while traveling in Crete. So I was surprised when I woke up during the night with that urgency to pee and yes it stung like the devil. I went on line, cranberry juice was lauded as th best thing to drink but, as you know, even if the bottle says “no sugar added”, it always is. So, I went looking for frozen cranberries and put them in the blender and drank that but H2O was always with me. Also recommended was Kefir so I would add that.I’m glad you mentioned oregano as I have some in my garden and I love asparagus and eat them often. The burning pee is gone but the urgency is still there so I’m getting up a lot at night and very fatigued during the day. I will try to find oregano and Thyme oil because it is not lost on me that your “thyme-ing” is perfect. This is not the first time this has happened. It happened with Urolithin A. I will tell that saga to you soon. Marilyn
Hello. I have been following you and only a few other people and have made huge changes in weight. But after three years still have loose skin and what appears to be lack of testosterone and if I dont take dim I feel and can see signs of estrogen. I have hair thinning as well. I do everything you suggest and my weight stopped lowering around 220. Am currently at 230 and if I dont do OMAD now I will go up. It feels like water weight and it looks disgusting in my thighs, butt, stomach and chest 2. Your articles on supplementation are very detailed except we have no idea the best way to actually take what you recommend. Just like the oregano or you mention clove in the past. I purchased several types including organic essential oil but can not find how to take this internally if that’s what you are suggesting. Dosage and practical uses and how to’s would help me tremendously. You have a ton of awesome articles but without practical application of these suppliments we look to other (non qualified) sourses that offer things from taking it extreamly sparingly to using it abundantly several times a day. Your articles are incredibly about what they can do but I would like to know how to as well. Thank you for changing my life. Finding you when I was as heavy as 360. I owe you everything.
Dr. Berg: How about doing a full or expanded vid on garlic? Garlic is so underrated for bugs. For decades now, everytime I feel a cold coming on I let it go until I know that it will just get worse. I then use fresh garlic cloves – stem cut off, crushed, chopped and crushed again with just enough water to get it down nicely on an Empty stomach. Some folks may not believe this but The cold symptoms virtually gone in the 5 hour range. Then repeat 2- 3 times daily for a few days. Works every time. Thanks
I have heard of using oregano before but put it on the back shelf of my mind. With family members allergic to penicillin, my online search brought me here. I am so glad. I have a medicine chest full of eo (I buy from Melaleuca) and will be equipping my family members. Thanks again for enlightening us. And thanks to all who comment. So much knowledge.
I love all your articles, and your format getting right to the subject! I got some oil of oregano and I was surprised at how powerful that is. Used it this winter exactly how you described it as an anabiotic antifungal, and it really works. Right away I realized you don’t have to use very much, it’s strong. Thank you Dr. Berg
Really appreciate you doing this. You briefly mentioned the benefits of oregano oil in a article a couple months ago, left me wishing for more data from you. Spoke to your son hoping to find out a good brand, he simply said to find something organic. It’s great stuff! Learn from my own lesson, however. I put some on my cat to help with his fleas only to find out later that it can cause serious problems in felines! He’s fine though, but I won’t do it again! lol
I have been dealing with chronic pelvic pain for 8 years. I had a hysterectomy and it went away for a bit but came back. Now have been dealing with chronic UTIs been diagnosed with intersistal cytitis. Recently had estrogen levels tested. At age 53 I have the estrogen levels of a 35 year old. I am wondering I have bacteria hiding in my micro biome, I also wonder if I have endometriosis on my bladder or colon. I can’t seem to fund a doctor that doesn’t blow me off. I am going to try oil of irgeno. If anyone has ideas ir Dr. ideas. I have akready treated at Mayo Clinic. This pain needs to stop so I can move on with my life. I am now a x widow and a single mom. I became a widow just a couple years ago. I can’t be drugged up on pain meds and always in pain. God will make a way some hiw. Maybe here
I feel so smart, my mother taught me about oregano 🌿, oil of eucalyptus and castor oil since I was a young girl – I have been raised with taking them. Do you want to go buy some gelatin capsules that are empty from the health food store, or from Amazon, get the size double oh because they’re the largest and easiest to pour into and then pour your oils or a portion of the oils into the capsules and that’s the easiest way to get them inside of you. Be aware that you want to start quitesmall with the amount of oil that you use when it comes to oil of eucalyptus or oil of oregano and an interesting sidenote is that you can’t overdose, well you can but if you give yourself too much of an oil your body will throw it back up on you and it is really extremely unpleasant to throw up essential whales if you’ve taken too many. You can tell that you’ve had too much if you start burping a lot and you’re tasting those purposes they come up make sure you take the oils with something on your stomach like bread or something that will just help soak it up, now castor oil it seems to be really pretty easy on the system and I’ve never had a problem with it at all.
I cannot be absolutely sure, but I was applying oregano oil to my scalp these last few months because of all the damaged skin (skin cancer). I had a 1.5 inch patch of cancerous skin removed by the dermatologist more than 10 years. Reduced my bald spot. Problems returned and so I was directed to apply Aldara to the scalp. This caused my immune system to attack the damaged cells. The entire area became one big scab before healing. About a year ago more skin cancer appeared on the scalp. More surgery. This was getting annoying. My skin looked angry, red, areas bled at times. So I started applying oregano oil. The scalp turned orange in color, scabs formed and then it would heal. I did three treatments. Each time more areas went through the same process. Now my scalp looks better than it has in years. The dermatologist was surprised and agreed with me that I likely stimulated my own immune system to attach the damaged cells much like using Aldara. I documented the process with photos to show him what happened since by the time I went for the appointment the scalp was healed. I am planning to do another round of oil soon. The other fact here is that I have been on keto for 6 months and many of my skin problems are clearing up. Perhaps it was the combination of the diet and the oil. I was also mega dosing B5.
I actually just closed my app, as i just heard him saying do me a favor, clicked the article up and checked out what he was saying. So here i am, just ordered a book called the cure is in the cupboard and have actually been taking oregano oil for the past 2 weeks now already. Thanks for the advice and knowledge you share!
I am using oregano oil to treat my peridontis, and it is shrinking the gums closer to my tooth, (that I thought I may loose) My teeth are pearly white now, I am using the oregano and clove oil (I make my own) to whiten my teeth, and wowza is it working. I was a smoker for over forty years, so the tartar was bad. No longer have any. it works amazing
I knew this, but I so needed to hear it again. I’m so sick. Antibiotics are unavailable. I’ve begun using a combo of oregano, rosemary, frankincense, eucalyptus, peppermint, and cbd. I’ve got a sinus/ear infection and my lungs have begun to make spongey sounds. Im currently using it topically. As soon as the health food store opens I’ll get some oregano capsules. We live at such a time where we have to be ready to treat ourselves. Thanks for the good word about oregano.
I use Aromavita brand oil of oregano from Amazon. It has worked well for me. You want to make sure you get a good quality, food grade or medicinal grade essential oils whatever type of essential oil you get. Don’t just go for the cheapest brand. Amazon seems to have much better prices for essential oils than brick and mortar stores (and I’m not trying to promote Amazon, that’s just my experience).
awesome article. I cut organic garlic almost daily. I crush it up wait 10 minutes chew sometimes I have some nutritional yeast with it and Keri gold butter. oregano oil I have used also for sore throat. I put a drop by each ear and once or twice put a very small drop under my tongue. I have used it for my husband’s foot issues. Directly and he’s never had any problems with it. I never needed a carrier oil. example coconut oil. didn’t know.
Hi Dr. Berg I recently heard about organic oregano oil capsules for e coli and other problems. But I was wondering how safe it is to take the oregano capsules? Could you give me some information on this subject–I hear all good things about oregano, but I am really interested in the capsules. Tricia In Hawaii
I’ve been using oregano oil for years and years, I’ve survived death 5 times, came right back, I got struck by the lightning and nothing happened to me, I swam in a snake and shark infested waters, not even a scratch!! And I’m 135 years old!!! People tell me I look 30! Oil of oregano is amazing and it’s clearly working for me!! Ok jokes aside lol, I’ve been using oregano oil for about a month now. Idk what it’s doing for me honestly but, the reason I started using it is because I developed a very strong craving for oregano. I sprinkle the herb on EVERYTHING, and I love the taste of the oil. Any time I’ve ever craved something this strongly, it meant my body needed it for whatever reason and I truly believe our inner wisdom speaks to us when something could be wrong and the cure comes in form of cravings. I’ll keep using it, I’m sure it’s doing wonders for me even though I’m not 100% sure why I want it so much.
The article is very informative. I haven’t had a uti in 30+ years and I know what antibiotics can do to your systems. I have to take 2000 mgs b4 every dental cleaning because of an operation I had and it can’t get infected. I look forward to purchasing the natural products you’ve mentioned and hopefully they’ll work. Thank you.
The reason I wanted to see this article is to know if you mention H. Pylori because others say it can heal that but you don’t mention that on your article about H. Pylori. But say anti Bacterial so it must be that then. Other, missing when to take it, some say on empty stomack morning, some before you sleep, and I’m afraid of it to hard for the stomach! Specially if maybe you also have ulcer…. But glad that you mention 1 drop to start with. Thank you!
I’ve used oregano capsules, 200 mg., 55 percent carvocol, 3 times a day, along with Cran-X, and it has healed my bladder infections, and UTI’s, ( kidney infections, it helps,) but sometimes, I do need a 7 day round of regular antibiotics, on top of the other. ( Works as a preventative, even better.) Try not to take oregano oil more than 10 days at a time, because it is a natural antibiotic. I started using oregano oil; because it kills E-coli and destroys their biofilms, and regular antibiotics we’re Not working. Thus, I was having to take multiple rounds of antibiotics, over and over, (and being hospitalized over and over), which in turn, was killing my gut biome, and most likely, killing me…at least that s how it appeared! ( Dr. Berg has some good articles on you tube, concerning oregano oil uses, as well.)
Do your research on “Young Living Essential Oils” in my opinion the BEST oil on the market! A few quality things to consider – they do not distill their oils from plants that have been sprayed with pesticides. They also do not (in most cases) have to be taken or used with a carrier oil. I am a massage therapist and I have used their quality oils for years. 🤩
Thank you Dr Berg. I got a infection in my lower abnormal are. I HD horrible pain. I didn’t know what is was. I assumed it was a UTI. I dis your UTI regimen, oregano, Thyme, Braggs ACV. Rhe pain was gone in less than 3 full days. But I ended up in the ER for a blown disc the next day. They took a CT scan. The Dr said I had diverticulitis. He looked to be all of 20 years of age. Not so convinced about his diagnosis. But they did nothing for my pain from the back and leg pain. But thank you for helping me with the abdominal pain.
I love oregano. I buy it in whole dry leaf form from Taygetos mountains in Northern Greece. I used to pick my own oregano and thyme from the isle of Symi off the coast of Rhodes. Since the k1984 event haven’t been able to go back. Any Greek products stores carry them. I’m lucky to live in NY where they are ubiquitous. Cheers. PS. Love this article and all content. You are a pearl.
On 11 May 2020, I purchased ‘teliaoils’ 1oz/30ml of Organic Oregano oil, with 84% Carvacrol, from Amazon for £19.90. it can be taken diluted as a drink or diluted on the skin. Would be nice to put a few drops in a bath too. It comes with instructions on how much to use for different health conditions. I hope this helps.
Hi Dr. Berg! Great articles on Oregano Oil and the benefits! A Classical Naturopathic Doctor recommended that I take a bottle of Oregano Oil with me on my last plane trip overseas. I added the oil to my water daily and it kept me healthy, as I was around several sick people including Coronavirus. I had forgotten, that it helps with allergies too!!!
I am a big advocate of the use of Oil of Oregano – but I respectfully disagree with Dr. Berg about labeling it as “essential oil” which can be misleading to anyone not fully informed about all this because MANY essential oils absolutely CANNOT be ingested. The best form of Oil of Oregano is Wild Mediterranean and I recommend a brand called North American Herb & Spice Company. Also, someone posted below to mix it with olive or coconut oil and not take it on its own – to the contrary, it is recommended to take it straight from the bottle, just a couple of drops (to start) under the tongue. Yes, it is very potent and requires some getting used to, but many people eventually take far more than two drops at a time, especially if they feel like they’re getting sick. O of O is “anti” everything, very effective, and safe to use, but again, start with the lowest dose until you gauge how your body reacts and how you handle the potency.
I love your articles. They helped me a lot. It helped me clamp my liver and hopefully this will help me also with my bladder issues so thank you and I love natural so much better than taking antibiotics if it can help me because God knows I’ve been on antibiotics long enoughwith this problem so I’m hoping this works thank you very much❤❤❤❤❤
I have H Pylori & Candida, I am going to get this oil to try eradicate it together with some other things. Thank you this article it just convinced me to get it. Thank you 💕 I have been on 2x sets of antibiotics (last took as a child) now I have the worst cold & I never get sick. I’m so sorry I went on them. Thank you I will be perusal more of your articles.
Dr. Berg thanks. I started using Oregano oil about 2 years ago. When ever I feel a virus infection in my body I use this product at night before bed. I wake up with all symptoms gone. Example I was feeling sick from either a cold or the flu was coughing sneezing slight temperature and sore throat. I placed 2 drops in 8 ounces of warm water gargled for the sore throat and swallowed afterwards. The next morning the sore throat was completely gone and all other symptoms also. I have 3 bottles in my kitchen cabinet. You just have to use caution by following directions, don’t over do it and this stuff will do miracles for you.
Great article, as are all of yours, Dr. Berg. But I have a few questions: 1) I have heard that it is not advisable to take essential oils orally. What are your thoughts about this? With that in mind, is wild Oregano oil, which is not an ESSENTIAL oil ( such as that by the company Oreganol)8 a good alternative? 2) Is oregano tea helpful for UTIs? 3) Is it possible to have both a yeast infection and a UTI, and if so, can they be treated simultaneously and with the same herbal and/or natural remedies? 4) Does excessive mucous in the body pertain to UTIs? Thanks for your time and attention.
I’ve been interested in and impressed by your educational articles for quite some time now. Now I’m turning to your gentle expertise to combat sinusitis, candida, etc. I’m sure oil of oregano will relieve soreness and phlegm in throat and have begun immediately to have my first dose! Thanks so much 🙏🏻 – you’re 1 in a million Eric Berg! 💟
I actually used both, smashing one clove of garlic, topped with a drop of raw honey, & had it 3X/day for 4 days, and 2 drops of oregano oil in 4-oz water, 2x/day (not at the same time), and my symptoms of flu and colds, gone. Btw, had to do these coz we were flying to Thailand. It was around 8 days before our trip when the symptoms started. I had to do drastic measures 😅.
Thank you Dr. Burg so much. Discovering your articles was one of the best things I done. I have been using reflexology for many years, but didn’t get serious about natural foods and getting rid of sugar from my diet. Now I have a one, two punch to keep my good health. I believe what we give comes back many times over. I will be trying your products and telling others about you. God bless you and yours.
Oregano oil is very good but must be used carefully. If you take undiluted drops straight in the mouth it will blow your head off. My daughter took it this way when she had tonsillitis ( without first reading instructions properly) and her tonsils were on fire!! Best way is to put a few drops into a vege capsule and take with food. My daughter takes it regularly now to keep away tonsillitis, which she used to get frequently.
Thank you for your wisdom . My husband has been on prednisone for years now needing antibiotic often the big gun antibiotics. Has a foot wound that won’t heal after 2 years . He has not been diagnosed as diabetic . I will try to incorporate this into his eating but he is a frequent eater with lots of carbs because of difficulty digesting meat .
I give it to my children who are between 9 and 17. My son got sick the day before yesterday, made tea his body fought with the help of the oregano oil he slept throughout yesterday and back on his feet by the evening. I love this stuff but he has passed rod cold to me and now my grand baby is coughing so I will rub some on her feet never thought of that! Great vid! ❤
