Oil of oregano is one of the most potent anti pathogens available. It kills everything including the good bacteria in your gut so taking it longer than 10 days is not recommended. You can make it yourself by soaking it in olive oil for a while to extract the active ingredients.

For simple ease of use, I just buy the oil in supplement form & use it as needed. You could also try to wash your nasal passages using a regular nasal saline squeeze bottle, no need for Nettie pots or wasting money on them, the standard nasal saline bottle works better, you can control the Flo better so no pain or discomfort & can be used to just rinse out the nose with plain water.

I've found that using a facial mister (abt $9 at Amazon) is really a great way to get the mixture where it needs 2 go - I use one daily with HP 3% saline + distilled water.

Just don't rinse out your sinuses with plain water from the tap. People have gotten the brain eating amoeba doing that.

Many trusted sources report that Oregano oil does not kill healthy gut bacteria. A neti pot will also work better than a saline spray bottle if your upper sinuses are infected, so if there is pain in radiating to the forehead, cheek bones and/or jaw, try a neti pot. Using plain water will often produce a burning sensation so use saline. Be cautious if sinuses are extremely plugged. Water from the neti should flow freely. Oregano essential oil is extremely hot so I wouldn't recommend it in a neti pot and always dilute it with an oil like coconut or sweet almond, even when taking in a capsule. It can also be mixed in a liquid and swallowed. Three drops twice a day is usually effective.

Thank you for the dosage information. I've searched for the last hour!
