Oregano Overdosing and Contraindications

[Guest guest]

Hi Peggy,

 

> I also would love to have a copy of Butch's oregano files!

 

I reckon they are uploaded to the list now.

 

> Question - Can one sniff too much oregano?

 

I'll not say never but one would have to do one heckuva lotta sniffing

to overload their olfactory system. I've not heard of such a thing and

I sniff it often .. and I can think of no reason to sniff it for more

than a couple of minutes .. max .. that's sufficient.

 

> Will the oregano interfere with medication? I'm sure this has been

> discussed before but I couldn't find anything in the archives.

 

Its not been discussed before because nobody here .. including me ..

knows for sure. I know of NO contraindications from use of Origanum ..

I've never heard of a doctor telling anyone to avoid the oil or the

spice but its always possible for any chemical to interfere with a

medication. If we knew the answer today we might be wrong tomorrow

because of the large number of new medications going on the shelf each

week .. the pill pushers are very busy critters.

 

As for contraindications from essential oil use .. there are far more

listed in this and that pub and on this and that site than are real ..

lots of rumors that have no basis in fact and are carried forward by

writers, teachers and folks on Newsgroups like this one .. wild tales

like Pennyroyal causing abortions and many other warning regarding EO

use and pregnancy .. Rosemary causing seizures in those who suffer from

Epilepsy .. and dozens of other wild tales on use of EO. I recommend

y'all check the articles from Martin's Articles Archive .. URL below.

 

I agree with the positions stated in the following articles .. I do NOT

agree with every position he takes in all of his article .. but I agree

with most of them .. http://www.aromamedical.com/articlesarchive.html
