Oil of Oregano

I'm a big fan of this little capsule. When the family is getting sick, my regime of Vit C, echinacea w/golden seal and oregano oil is our routine. It's great for your respiratory and sinuses. I do this to prevent the lingering cough that goes deep in your chest. The liquid will burn going down. It's strong. I buy Solaray brand. It's under $8 and the capsule is small, easy to take.

Here's a quick memo from Dr. Perricone:

Oregano: Aromatic Mediterranean Herb

Many culinary spices and herbs have long been recognized for their health-promot­ing properties. For example, turmeric (a source of curcumin) is important for a healthy liver, ginger (with gingeroles) supports digestion, cayenne offers cardiovas­cular support, and rosemary is a potent cleansing herb.

Origanum vulgare, an aromatic Mediterranean herb, has historically been used as a natural protective compound. The Greeks named this hardy perennial oregano (joy-of-the-mountains). Their health practitioners relied on it for lung support and tissue repair. Over the cen­turies, oregano gained widespread use for respiratory health.
