Poster stated he put oil of oregano under his tongue. Do NOT EVER take it this way. Taking straight oregano oil without diluting will burn you and it is not necessary to take it subligual to achieve results. This is a very powerful herb.Replied By Mesem (Riez, France) on 03/16/2013
So I thought I'd try oregano and increase garlic uptake. So what do you do with the oregano oil then, how is it best to take this? The guy who recommended taking it under his toungue seems to have done fine! I only took antibiotics for a week.Replied By Mitch (Comox, British Columbia) on 03/19/2013
@Joi from MN, the best way to take Oil of Oregano is under the tongue, full strength. Although it is VERY strong, and yes it can "bite" you. There are many sites that state taking it under the tongue for maximum results. Extra strength & Ultra Strength Oil of Oregano should be diluted if you are using as a topical application (rubbing it into skin). But internally it doesn't have to be diluted.Replied By Njboesman (Westwood , Nj ) on 03/19/2013
I would have to disagree with the "full strength" comment when taking OO sublingually...I have tried this method and even 2 drops is beyond anyones tolerance. I found it best to dilute in Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVO) at a ratio of 5:1.
Sublingual adminstration is best as it bypasses the GI tract and is therefore better absorbed. OO is serious stuff and needs to be respected as such. My advice would be to experiment with a one drop mixed with 2 drops of EVO. Try it that way and you will see why it needs to be @ a 5:1 ratio. I made the mistake of 2 drops straight and I was in pain beyond belief, and I LOVE hot spicy food but this was unbearable. Start slowly and see what your tolerence is....

Under the tongue.... Dilute, dilute, dilute with olive oil or coconut oil. Just because you can't see the burn, you are burning. Ridiculous arguement as it works diluted also. Spare yourself the pain!Replied By Oregano Capsule User (Cabarrus County, Nc) on 09/01/2013
Oregano capsules work well for me when I'm fighting bacterial or viral infections without the strong taste, burn, or smell! Available in health food stores near oregano oil.Replied By Faith (US) on 09/28/2014
If you use "Oil of Oregano/Oreganol P 73" you do not have to dilute the oil because its proprietary blend is already diluted with extra virgin olive oil!!!Replied By Killaxheart (Usa) on 03/26/2016
5 drops of Oregano Oil topped off with a carrier oil (I use EVOL or Coconut oil) in a vegetable capsule 3x a day will murder whatever nasty infection is creeping around in your body. I swear by it!! I can feel the change in my body after the first dose. Everyone needs it in their medicine cabinet, right next to the Tea Tree & Peppermint 👌ðŸ»
