if you start off with 5 drops of oregano oil a day, there are two or three possibilities. First, it is not pure. Second, you have huge kahunas for a woman. Third, you have a high tolerance for pain.
The reason you work your way up is so that your body adjusts to the amount. Oregano oil of therapuetic grade is some strong stuff. It works very well to knock out, pertnear what ails ya. Seriously though, it is a powerful, natural antibotic.
If you do the 5 drops, please let us know your experience!
