Interesting thank you
ReplyDeleteYes that's right Oregano is anti-bacterial. I use a product called wild Oil of Oregano as it is good for lung infections.
ReplyDeleteYes you're right Oregano is an anti-bacterial fighter.I enjoy the use of Wild oil of Oregano, good for fighting lung infections.
ReplyDeleteIt may have antibacterial properties, but in the case of a bacterial lung infection, it's not a substitute for antibiotics. People are refusing whooping cough vaccinations in the delusional belief that oregano oil is a sufficient "cure" for whooping cough, which it most definitely is not. Companies making such claims have had justifiable legal sanctions made against them for such unsubstantiated claims.
ReplyDeleteAnyone using oregano oil to combat a serious bacterial lung infection is a fool. People who refuse to vaccinate their children against whooping cough because they believe oregano oil will protect them from it are also fools.
