I am sure you have all been following the Oil of Oregano (OoO) threads in the other forums, when I looked up this herb I was amazed at its healing properties.. and it has anti-inflammatory properties along with being a natural pain killer and is advised for FMS/CFS sufferers.
I have started taking it and will let you know my results. One thing I have noticed after a few days is that my 'butterfly rash' has paled! Heres an informative site along with an excerpts -

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oil of oregano is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic. It also has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and is an ideal product to use for people who suffer from CFS and/or fibromyalgia. This is not regular oregano, but a wild form (wild mountain oregano, vulgare species) of the spice, which has, until recently, not been available in Canada. Do not use a substitute or oregano from a grocery store because it will have no effect. oil of oregano natural herbal supplement offers a variety of remedies
Nevertheless, true oil of oregano offers many exciting remedies to a variety of ailments. In "Herbal Renaissance", Steven Foster credits oregano as having "been employed to treat indigestion, diarrhea, nervous tension, insect bites, toothache, earache, rheumatism, and coughs due to whooping cough and bronchitis (primarily for it's antispasmodic effects)."

PLEASE NOTE! This is a powerful herb and must be started at low doses otherwise you may get unpleasant 'cleansing' symptoms.. I add 2 drops to water in morning only then will add 2 drops at night in a week or two. Also anyone suffering with anemia or blood problems please consult your doctor before taking as it may inhibit the absorbtion of iron.
There are a lot of good informative sites other than the one I have posted on OoO.
Please let me know if you have tried it or are currently taking it and what results you have experienced.
Thanks.
