Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Bozenna, my pedicure person, says that she has read that oil of oregano is good to kill the fungus in my toe nails. Do you guys have any information on this? I imagine there are many kinds of oregano. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Wow! what a father. Thank you. I see Butch says it takes a long time and oregano could cause an allergy.

I'll try to get some details from him next time I talk to him. He doesn't remember details of lots of things these days, UNLESS it was what pills he took when and what surgeries he had and when.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hi Jan, Yes, I do believe that it would take some time using oregano (or anything) internally to get rid of a nail infection. But I also am pretty sure that the potential for oregano to be a sensitizer or irritant comes from external use rather than internal use. But as I said, I don't know off hand how much my Grandpa took and for how long, so I'm not exactly recommending anything. Heck, even if I did know how much and for how long all I can say is what he did, and what I'd do, but can't actually " recommend " it for anyone cause I ain't a doctor, so we don't go there *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Oaklandplants [Oaklandplants] Wow! what a father.
