I don't want to say burning doesn't work, but I have my doubts, my husband has only had one ob and that was two years ago and had he burned it, then he would have thought burning worked, and I would have been convinced also, since we both have the same condition you would think we would both get symptoms the same way but you wouldn't know he had it, and I have had many ob's, possibly you are like my husband and have an immune system that is good at fighting this particular virus, oregano oil seems to be working for me , I just started it a few months back and I have cut the first ob healing time in half which is when I started taking it and I always get obs with periods, but since taking the oregano oil I have not had an ob the past two periods, and I have even re-introduced coffee into my diet. Which some say can be a trigger.
