Testimonials
Alain:
“From the first signs of a cold snap, I take 2 drops of oregano diluted in half a teaspoon of olive oil. No more than 3 times a day and over a very short period. This oil is very powerful to the taste that’s why I dilute it in oil. Usually one or two doses are enough. ”
Citi:
“Better than an antibiotic. Suffering from chronic sinusitis, 4 drops a day divided into two doses and I begin to heal.
It is fabulous ! On the other hand, for the taking, do not exceed 7 days. For my part I take a small piece of bread on which I pour 4 drops of olive oil and two drops of essential oil of oregano, I roll into a ball and I swallow with a large glass of water. Be careful, it is quite caustic, avoid putting it on the mucous membranes. But the result is there !”
