Sciatic Pain and Facts on Oregano EO

[Guest guest]

Hi Dorothy,

 

> Hi

> What do I do with the oregano,

 

For Sciatic pain you simply sniff it .. that's all. And the answer to

the question you have not thought to ask yet:

 

Q: Can I overdose?

A: NO!

 

> and what EO stand for?

 

Essential Oil .. oils that are yielded from the distillation of aromatic

plants .. in this case .. from the leaves of an Oregano plant.

 

> as you can tell I am the new kid on the block, but the pain at times

> is more then I can take, and I will try anything...within reason.

 

Welcome aboard New Kid. ;-) Hang in there and ask questions and NEVER

EVER feel ashamed or bashful .. we aren't born with this information.

 

As for Sciatic pain .. those who have it know exactly how you feel. It

can make you more miserable than a toothache or earache. And there is

NO RISK .. NO HARM .. in sniffing Oregano EO .. folks ask me off line

which one they should use .. truth is any of the Carvacrol Rich ones

will do the job .. but the most commonly asked for is Origanum vulgare.

 

See the info at the bottom of this post.

>>Lemme tell y'all another reason we can have Sciatic Pain .. from bad

- - - - - - - - - - - FACTS ON THE ORIGANUMS - - - - - - - - - -

 

All of the Origanums except the Origanum dubium Linalool Type are

Carvacrol-rich and Carvacrol is the active therapeutic component people

seek. Higher Carvacrol aromatic plants are more expensive to purchase.

We have some plants that will produce oils with Carvacrol levels over

80%. This simply means you get more bang for the buck when mixing it

with olive oil or whatever. You use less oil to get the same results.

 

Origanum vulgare is the best seller. Maybe people associate the name

and the fact that there is one company making some fairly sound health

claims and selling it as " Oil of Oregano " in a 10% Oregano/90% Olive Oil

mixture for as much as $29.95 per 2/3 ounce bottle. So people see mine

as being less costly. With mine, one can mix their own and create a

dozen bottles of the $29.95 product for less than half the price.

 

Origanum onites has been the next best seller .. the Common Names for

this oil are Izmir Oregano and Pot Marjoram. Lately I have listed it as

Marjoram, Pot .. but it confuses folks so I am going back to calling it

Oregano. ;-) It might be a hot seller due to some things I've

written on it and a portion of the lecture I gave at an AT Conference in

Toronto, Canada in September 1999. I presented research conducted by

five prominent professors in Turkey using Origanum onites in a project

involving lung tumors in rats, using three different groups and three

treatments, one of them being normal cancer treatments. I presented the

study, showed the audience colored micro slides of the lung tissues.

The Origanum onites not only stopped the growth but also caused

recession of the growths! The lung tissue was reverting to its

previously normal pink and clear state!! I made it clear that this is

not an indication that it will cure cancer in humans but it shows a

great need for further research and such research is ongoing. I also

made it clear that the reason Origanum onites was selected for this

experiment was because it was the one available at the time .. any of

the Carvacrol-rich Origanums would have sufficed.

 

Origanum dubium (Carvacrol Type) is the next best seller, possibly

because it appears to have a lighter odor than the others. Turks

generally prefer it for home medication.

 

Origanum dubium (Linalool type) is in its own class .. a very nice odor

and dual therapeutic value. It's high in Linalool, as is lavender, and

high in Carvacrol, as is oregano. It has healing properties of oregano

and lavender .. so much so that the common name in Turkey is Lavanta

Kekik (Lavender Oregano.) It's endemic to Turkey - not found elsewhere

and even here it's only found in a very small corner of the Southeast.

When people get samples of it from us, they buy it. I normally use it

for inhalation and it is great for diffusion - I love the odor.

 

I prefer Origanum vulgare, Origanum onites and Origanum dubium Carvacrol

for kicking Big Bad Bug Butts but I do not make recommendations to

others on ingestion of essential oils. I recommend buyers consult their

doctor prior to this manner of usage.

 

So - one can choose based on the above descriptions of each oil.

 

For colds and flu, I use O. onites, O. vulgare or O. dubium Carvacrol.

For diffusion any one will do the job but just for inhalation, I'd go

with the O. dubium (Linalool type) because I love the odor. All have

proven antiseptic, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-spasmodic properties

and they are believed to be capable of stimulating the immune system.

 

PS: Please not that I write of Types above .. they are NOT Chemotypes.

This should not matter to you .. unless you want to use the correct

terminology. ;-)
