Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi C-M, I've made my own natural hand sanitizer - base of purified water/aloe vera gel/honey (equal parts water/aloe/2% honey). The essential oils are: lavender 55%, tea tree 30%, backhousia 10%, oregano 3%, clove 2%. The dilution ratio of base to essential oils is 90/10. The aloe and honey make it a little less drying and easier on skin. I carry it in a spritzer bottle (gently pat dry with paper towel or cloth) and also use it on surfaces if I think I need to. Be Well, Marcia Elston, Samara Botane/Nature Intelligence http://www.wingedseed.com http://www.wingedseed.blogspot.com http://www.aromaconnection.org I keep a small bottle of Purell sanitizing hand cleaner in my car .A small bottle to which I have added oregano EO. I can sniff it, clean my hands with it. Do it about every time I go to a place were there where more than two people. C-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I make a throat spray with 5 drops of oregano oil in a 2 ounce spray bottle of distilled water. At the first sign of trouble I shake it up and spritz the back of my throat, as needed. Yes, it's powerful. Works great. MMS is also a good thing to have on hand for pandemics.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I use about 10 drops of oregano EO in a 1 oz. size Purell bottle. Sniff it when out in situations where there are a lot of people, movie etc. Use a little bit of it on my hands after shopping or otherwise being out of the house. Also when getting money from the bank. Using my own pen when I have to sign anything like at the bank or pharmacy or when using my c card. I use diluted* oregano EO, 3 drops on some soft dry bread, smooched into a ball when I feel a cold coming on or make soup with a few drops of oregano. Also rub some on the sole of my feet, than socks over them before I go to sleep. My daughter uses Oregamax capsules, can't handle the EO internally. * ratio: 3 parts olive oil, 1 part oregano EO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I use about 1/2 dropper of Butch's oregano hydrosol in a glass of water each day. I've decided that when I get sick (as I was recently) I will increase my intake. I will also put some oregano eo in my hand sanitizer.
