Julie, Like you, I love the herbs. I have read sim ilar accounts on the antibacterial action of Oregano Oil. Most of these organic oils. I have seen , sell for $11 an ounce (US) on the internet. I would be interested in reading some more research on it.
BTW, I have found it true, that the mere rubbing on fresh herbs, like sage, and oregano, does repell germs, and insects, and works well for me, in keeping my childrens hands clean, during the summer. Our scratches, and cuts, and insects bites, rabbit scratches, splinters, all respond well with the friction of sage leaves. i found a new way of living, would you members, use CS for any of these situations? I like the convenience (9n summer) of grabbing a few leaves from the plant. busy mamma Paula ----- Original Message ----- i From: wolfcreek1 To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 12:58 PM Subject: Re: CS>Oregano Oil May Protect Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria List: Synergy with CS????
