Buying oil of oregano can be confusing, as there are many plants which are colloquially referred to as "oregano". I don't know why the FDA doesn't require all these products to provide the latin name of the plant on the label and in the advertising, but they don't. Fortunately, the Nature's Way brand tells you it's from origanum vulgare hirtum, which is the good stuff. They also contain soy lecithin, which is from non-GMO soy.

Nature's Way Oregano Oil along with lots of Vitamin C was recommended by my holistic doctor to keep my stage one cancer in remission. The plus side of NW Oil is that it has no side effects or interference with other meds. Plus, it actually cuts down on lactose intolerance so I can enjoy yogurt again. Feaked out when you ran out of it awhile back!

I take this daily and it seems to have assisted with my acne and other health complaints. A higher dose helped considerably with the common cold (along with taking Vitamin C and garlic); the extra immune system boost helped me get over it within 2 days as opposed to the usual 5 with garlic/C. I cut one vcap open to help with a cystic acne spot that was bothering me. I rubbed the oregano ointment on the skin, let it sit overnight covered with a bandage, and the spot had shrunk considerably by morning. Is this the placebo effect in action? Perhaps, but I don't see the harm in using it if this is the case. At least it seems to help.

My brother was the first one to inform me of using oregano oil to help fight off colds. And my sister recommended I also try olive leaf extract for the same purpose.

Prior to using these products, I would get about 2-3 colds a year for as long as I can remember. The first symptom would be general fatigue, followed by a sore throat, a runny and/or stuffy nose, then coughing and congestion. The mild symptoms would last about 1.5 weeks, but unfortunately sometimes the congestion would linger for weeks.

Then I started taking the oregano oil and olive leaf extract. What I've discovered over the past 5 years is this. If I start taking these herbal supplements when I start getting a sore throat, then usually I never get any chest congestion. In addition, any symptoms I do have are generally milder. So for the past 5 years, I've only had 3 serious colds, and one of those was linked to allergies (I live in Central Texas, and cedar allergies are common, although I'm not usually severely affected by them). Prior to taking these herbal supplements, I would have averaged about 10 colds in a 5 year time span.

To achieve my results, I take 1 oregano pill and 1 olive leaf pill with every meal, 3 times daily, as soon as I detect the initial symptoms (usually for me it is a sore throat). I continue this intake for about 5 days, which is usually when the soreness in my throat subsides.

Overall, I'm SERIOUSLY pleased with my results. Whereas over-the-counter medicines might make you feel better, they do nothing to actually combat the virus itself (they just might make your nose less stuffier, or abate your headache). Based on my personal experience, I feel like whatever compounds are in these herbs do actually assist your body in fighting the viruses.

Granted these aren't quite as strong as some of the other brands but at 6.95 in the subscribe and save the price is the best around. I take it every couple hours if I need to use it in place of an antibiotic...and it has worked very well. It also seems to be the only brand that has the veggie capsule for those of us that only eat clean foods.

Good product, good quality, good shipping...Thank you Nature's Way for providing the veggie cap.

I don't know it it is helping me to be healthier, but I will take until the bottle is empty.

Have tried the more expensive product from North American and it cleared up mine and my husband's stuffy noses within 24 hrs. Occasionally you would get a slight after burp with that product. With this product, I've been taking for a week and I still have a stuffy nose and never an after burp. Plus the capsules are huge compared to p73.

As with all dietary supplements, who knows if they work. I've been taking this for a while and hope it'skeeping my innards in good working order. I'm alive, happy and healthy. Has this or any other supplement helped? Who knows? I was alive, happy and healthy before taking them.
