Thank you for the info Nancy, but I have decided to go with the Oreganol as I am not knowledgeable in essential oils, and the Oreganol is already diluted with oil. I think I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome due to the herpes zoster virus and thought I would try this for it, so would need to ingest it. I also thought I would try it for my dog who has anal fistulas which are infected. I know I would have to put the drops in a capsule for him but can put it under the tongue for me. I never have lesions with shingles but just get horrible sharp nerve¹ pains which were diagnosed many years ago, as shingles. Thanks again for taking the trouble you have to reply. dee

Without going to my huge book I am trying to go on memory. I will look for you later this afternoon as you may be able to use 1-2 drops in a glass of water. some other oils can be used that way. Depending on what properties you are using it for will depend on where you use it on your body. I dilute with jojoba oil or almond oil, if you don't have that then olive oil is best. If you will be using it for a specific area on your body for inflammation then I suggest using the reflexology points on the bottom of your foot or diluted on the skin in the area where you want it concentrated. I will look into my book later today as to more information. Nancy >
