Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 The report I saw said that the problem is from tainted water during the growth process -- it's in the cell walls of the plants. It isn't on the plant, so it can't be washed off, no matter what you clean it with. Of course, they were speculating, they weren't for sure. I think they were waiting on tests results????? I don't recall. Susan H. Hey John .. Susan .. other good folks .. > Hi Butch, > It you do not have the hydrosol, would a few drops of Oregano in water > shaken well work? It would take a lot of shaking .. and often. I think it would be better to get some Oregano Hydrosol .. and even reuse it a few times. Its very difficult to dilute EO in water. Concentrated EO does not dilute well .. but that EO that is suspended in the Hydrosol is a bit different .. more hydrophilic. The Hydrosol will more closely resemble the actual chemical composition of the plant anyway, because it contains both the water soluble and non water soluble chemical components. That's not saying the EO is not effective against E-Coli .. the above explanation is an attempt to explain something I can't do a better job explaining .. that is .. why EO does suspend well in the Hydrosol. ;-) > Hey, I am still waiting for my off line reply. > John Sorry .. I'll get to it tomorrow .. its after 2000 here now so I'm gonna take a break .. have beer or two .. and relax. ;-) Been a busy couple of days .. been out more than I have been in and I have a lot of replies to get to .. yours is on the top of the heap. ;-) > Would a drop of oregano EO be as effective as an oregoano hydrosol for > soaking veggies? > Susan See above .. but if the veggie is going to be cooked .. there is no reason to soak it anyway.
