NORTH AMERICAN HERB & SPICE Oreganol P73 - 1 fl. oz. - Supports Healthy Immune & Inflammatory Response - Wild Oregano Oil - Non-GMO, Certified Organic - 432 Total Servings

An “OUTSTANDING” product!

Please take your time and do some research on this product "before" you order and use it. The book, a cure is in the cupboard, by Dr. Cass Ingram is an excellent place to start as it is very informative with the documentation to back it up. This oil is repeatedly described as "strong" or "potent", however after using it the best word to describe the oil to me is "powerful" as it can cover a multitude of sins (problems). One of the most important things to remember is using just a little goes a long ways. It is utterly amazing the hosts of germs, viruses, fungi and bacteria that this oil can kill. I wanted to "amend" this review to inform anyone who is having a difficult time taking this oil internally. If you rub the oil on the bottom of your feet you will taste it in your mouth within 20 minutes. During this twenty minutes the oil will have penetrated every cell in your body and as a bonus if it is did at night it will give you a peaceful night's sleep while the oil does in work getting rid of nasty germs,fungus, bacteria and viruses. Taking this oil sublingual and in liquid is pretty raw as I have did all three and the simplest (and quite effective)method is to just simply rub the oil on the bottom of your feet

Saved/Changed my life

I have spent the last 20 years in a congested stupor. I've been on antibiotics, steroids, allergy meds, cold meds. I've used Netti pots, salene spray, and have done 5 years of allergy shots. I've tried everything. If anyone around me had a cold, I would catch it and then follow it up with a sinus infection. About a month ago I stumbled onto Oil of Oregano. After reading all the positive reviews I figured I had nothing to lose, so I ordered the .45 oz bottle and started taking 2 drops under my tongue each day. After about a week I was able to sleep through the night. (I haven't had 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep in at least 14 years). After about a month of taking this, I came close to catching a cold. My friend had a horrible cold and I had about 3 days where I thought I just might be catching it and then nothing. I was fine. Last Friday I left work early and forgot to take the oil (I left the bottle of oil on my desk so I didn't have anything for the weekend). I woke up Sunday morning completely congested, just like I've been most of my adult life. I've ordered the big bottle so I can have it both at home and at work. If you've suffered like so many others, give this stuff a try. It tastes terrible, but I'd rather suffer for a couple of seconds each day than go through another day of desperation trying to breath. I wish I could give this more than 5 stars

COLDS BEGONE

I can't say enough good things about Oreganol. It is quite strong (even burns a little) and I find I need to chase it with a glass of water or seltzer, but knock on wood, so far I haven't gotten sick since I started using it and that is saying a lot because I was constantly getting colds. If I'm coming down with something, I put 3 drops under my tongue twice a day for a couple of days and it works like a charm. I don't understand people who are complaining about the price. When I get a cold, I spend three times as much on Dayquil, Nyquil, cough drops, tissues, etc. A small bottle of this would last at least a year and regardless, you can't put a price tag on staying healthy

BLOCKS IRON ABSORPTION…BE AWARE!

Although this WAS one of my favorite products for keeping the immune system up and reducing allergies, it blocks iron absorption. Caffeine and calcium also block iron absorption. If you take this, be sure your FERRITIN levels are very high...as some people become symptomatic (severe anxiety, rapid pulse, weakness, cognitive issues, shooting pains behind eyes and in head are just a few symptoms) at levels under 50. Went to 25 doctors and only found out from a cancer doctor that ferritin was low (they are hematologists). Had iron infusions twice that year. Now have to go again. Iron is really the key to a better immune system, so get that right, first

NOT As STRONG As My 8-Year Old Bottle

This has been my "go to" oil for colds and flus, as well as dental care (i.e. oil pulling). I purchased this exact item about 8 years ago and was only recently running out of it. As I finished the last drop of my old oil, I did as I always did in order to keep myself from gagging and throwing it up - I would let it stay under my tongue until enough heat was generated from my mouth into my body AND enough saliva was available to swallow it. (If I swallowed it too quickly, I end up gagging, having a coughing fit or throwing it up.). The next day, when I tried the new oil I was greatly disappointed that it was NOTHING in strength compared to the older one. Hardly any heat and not much saliva generated. I was going to knock off a few more stars because of this, however, the newer one still seems to do the job of helping with colds, etc. I don't know what the company did to change the strength of this oil, especially since the ingredients and amounts appear to be the same, but I will be looking elsewhere to see if I can get a stronger one in the future. (If anyone knows of any, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.). In the meantime, I will continue to use it for colds, flus, dental oil pulling, etc

My daughter had a very bad skin infection in her hip

My daughter had a very bad skin infection in her hip. The emergency room team cut it open, drained it and put in surgical packing. They drew a line around the area, and said, " If the redness goes past these lines, we'll know the antibiotics aren't working." They had found MRSA in her infection - and sure enough, the infection kept spreading like wild fire. After the traditional medications failed - my daughter opened the wound again and liberally cleansed it with Oreganol, and she swallowed quite a bit of it - although I wouldn't recommend that! Granted, her situation was dire and time was of the essence. Happy to report - this little bottle killed MRSA, and my daughter is now a spokesperson to anyone who will listen. I praise God for this product and its amazing results

Great product!

Everyone around me has been sick with severe colds and the flu except for me and I don't have an exceptional immune system. In fact every season I usually get sick. The only difference is my daily sue of Oreganol. I live in NYC and am subject to brutal weather, congested subway rides and daily encounters at work with folks who are sick. Nevertheless I have managed to deflect illness. As soon as I feel any slight indications of a cold I increase my intake from 2 drops under the tongue every morning to a dose in the afternoon and a bedtime and voila! I dodge a bullet. This is a staple now in my medicine cabinet :-

You need to buy this

I purchased this to help myself with a chronic sinus infection. I feel it is helping me but, I have been sick with some infection for a long time and I do feel it will eventually help me. However, I have a bird that is 18 years. We have tried every prescription eye drop, eye cream, every spray sold for infections...EVERYTHING for well over a year and 1/2. One eye was chronically scabbed over, crusty and weepy. Total misery for Robbie and misery for me at not being able to help. Out of desperation I added 2 drops of P73 to a TBS of sterile wound wash sold in drug stores.I washed his eye with solution and sterilized cotton ball. 2 days later same. It has now been 10 days since treatment and I get to tell him how sorry I am it took me so long to help him. His eye stopped oozing and crusting and is open and clean for the first time in forever! It is his miracle in a jar

I have much experience using Wild Mediterranean oregano oil for …

I have much experience using Wild Mediterranean oregano oil for many folk medicine purposes to avoid, frankly, a doctor visit(long waits, high co-pays, strong antibiotics and often mixed results); and so I know the genuine product which this is. I am not a doctor or nurse or pharmacist, just an aging and thrifty peasant with common sense-- so don't take any advice from me about medical things; but you can trust what I say about the purity of this product. Right now, I am using it on a stubborn toe fungus my husband has had for 10 years and I am actually making more progress than with all other products, both pharmaceutical and Tea Tree Oil. I even zapped a UTI with this stuff as well,( judiciously diluted), and avoided expensive, overused antibiotics which often don't work anyway

Insufficient Specification

I don't want to discuss here about miraculous effect of the Oreganol oil and the notorious taste of it since I know people looking into it should have already heard about its antibiotic function. It works for someone but doesn't work for others. But I would say if you can stand for its taste, and you add 2 - 4 drops daily to your diet, it should help your immune system. I heard about this stuff years ago and have tried different brands already. Most of time it helps. I would say my endurance of this stuff is pretty good since I have tried 100% pure oreganol oil and I survived. Most of the product in the market is diluted with olive oil and that reduces the strong taste of it quite a bit. I also bought this brand seeing many positive reviews and decided to give it a try. Its taste is not that strong as the other brand. So I started to compare different brand and concluded the following information which I think should share with all the other buyers. When you try to choose oreganol oil, first you need to know its purity and effectiveness. One of the index is the Carvacrol concentration, since this is the essential ingrediant. The higher the better. Some manufacturer indicates their Carvacrol is 73% while other can have as high as 86%. The other index you need to pay attention is the purity. Some indicats 4 drops per serving has 37.6 mg Oreganol Oil (Origanum vulgare) and 70 mg extra virgin olive oil per serving. Some indicates 2 drops per serving with how many mg Oreganol Oil and how many mg extra virgin olive oil. Although the mg amount is different, you should have an idea of the ratio of Oreganol Oil over Olive Oil. The higher the purer. Some is 100% Oreganol Oil and so no olive oil is mixed at all. At last you need to choose Wild and Organic or Non-GMO if possible. Some are packed in 1 oz bottle and some are packed in 0.45 oz bottle. You will see due to the difference of the diluted rate and Carvacrol concentration, the price can be very different and it is not surprising to see a 1 ounce bottle can be less than half price of a 0.45 oz bottle of the other brand. This product's label only indicates 2 drops total 50 mg organic extra virgin olive oil and oreganol oil but this doesn't mean anything. Who knows what the ratio of olive oil and oreganol oil and so what purity it is? What does P73 mean? Due to insufficient information provided for this product, I cannot give it high rating as others
