Ash I recently discovered oil of oregano and let me tell you, it is one of the most awesome natural products I have yet to come across.
ABOUT OIL OF OREGANO
Oil of oregano is high in antioxidants and is an excellent antiseptic; it has the ability to destroy: bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungus and more. Hippocrates, the famous ancient Greek physician (who I deeply admire), used oil of oregano to treat his patients.
Oil of oregano is derived from the flowers and leaves of wild oregano plants, and it is much more potent than regular oregano. It rich in antioxidants: carvacrol and thymol, which are key ingredients in its antimicrobial properties.
Most people take oil of oregano internally (via a liquid dropper or capsule); however, it can also be applied topically for various infections of the skin. Because oil of oregano is so potent, it must be diluted with a carrier oil (generally olive oil). It is also best to purchase organic oil of oregano if it is available. I purchased
mine on iherb.com.
I have successfully treated cold sores, sinus issues, and cold/flu symptoms with oil of oregano.

After realizing that the major ingredients in it are so simple, I decided to create my own concoction and it works pretty well. The only thing is: it doesn’t foam, but that’s no biggie. Here’s how I made it:
I purchased this pillow a few months ago and I absolutely love it! It’s in the shape of a wrench/dog bone to keep your face from smooching up against your pillow while you sleep (which can result in wrinkles, temporary lines, and sagging skin). It is SO comfortable!
