Origanum vulgare
Many folks have had excellent results treating all types of bacterial and fungal infections with oregano oil (taken internally). According to Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt in "Advanced Aromatherapy", 1 - 2 drops (in a capsule diluted with vegetable oil) can be taken up to 10 times in a day to treat a severe infection. Use should be limited to 10 days or less as the prolonged use of oregano oil sometimes causes changes in liver enzymes.
