I take these every day for general health. Oregano oil has incredible healing properties.

Didnt know about the oil of oregano for digestive purposes though I do use a heap of it in spaagetti sauces and any other recipe possible. Otherwise I use unpasturized apple cider vinegar with many of my salads, and avoid drinking water at meal times other than a few sips. My theory is to let the acid in the stomach do its job which requires a high acid environment to break down the food stuffs properly.

Thanks for asking the question-- I learned something.

I used it daily for two years to clear up any possible candida or other issues from years of high carbing. I liked it a lot.

I use Swanson brand capsules and now take 2x2/day. When I started I was taking 1-2 every hour or so to clean my system of candida/viruses that might be in my system.

When you first start using organic oregano oil(ooo) as a medicinal, you can get flu like symptoms and what I call explosive diarrhea as it's working.


OOO is also good to treat hay fever.


PS When you start and it's cleaning you out/killing yeast, fungi, etc. and you have those BMs....it really, really, really, really, really stinks!!!

Do you know what strength the capsules are?
I've been taking 4/day 1500mg and am still not seeing diarrhea yet. I would welcome a little help in that department since I battle constipation.

4/day is a maintenance dose. Swanson brand is 150mg per gel.

I found my protocol

Oregano Oil Cleanse

Every 2 hours for 3-4 weeks from arising to bedtime
450 mg oregano oil
1,000 mg vitamin C
1,000 mg ester C
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar in 8+ ounces of water 2-3 times/day

Drink plenty of water!!! You will have a lot of die off and foul smelling loose stools. That's all right. It's supposed to happen.

I am up to about 7 capsules per day. I feel like they are also causing sleepiness.

Sleepiness is a side effect of die off. They're working.
