This is a good product at an amazingly low price! I've tried some brands with prices similar to this, and they're simply less powerful versions, containing several times more olive oil than the expensive versions.

I count on Oil of Oregano to fight off colds, flus, cold sores -- almost any kind of ill health including sick to the stomach from overeating. With three in our household, one being a toddler, we experience illness once a year or less. My toddler (2 years 4 months of age) has never had an antibiotic between using Oil of Oregano for illnesses and using homeopathic remedies. She's the healthiest child I know, and our friends have noticed this. She thinks it's fun to pretend to blow her nose; she's never actually had a serious runny nose as part of an illness. Most children I know seem to get sick every couple of months, and their colds leave them with long periods of runny nose problems.

For people who would like to fight off illnesses at the first sign of onset, I highly recommend this product for quality and good price. Be warned -- Oil of Oregano has a powerful taste, so it's best taken in orange juice or in a capsule. (You can purchase bags of empty capsules at most health food stores or over the web.)

As a cancer survivor with no spleen and a weak immune system, I have been using oil of oregano for about six months and I have found it to be a very effective weapon in my personal germ warfare arsenal.

My rating is based on the misinformation on Amazon's page for this item, not efficacy of the product. It states that the product is standardized to 70% carvacrol oil. This is false.

Per serving as labeled on bottle: 70 mg olive oil, 37.6 oil of oregano yielding ~26.3 mg carvacrol

An individual ingredient is 70% carvacrol but it is then diluted such that the final product is 24.4%

Planetary herbals website lists the actual quantities but Amazon does not. Shame on Amazon

Do not be duped like I was

The cantor at my synagogue put me on to this, to deal with throat congestion. Put one drop on your finger and then put that on your tongue and feel it purging your throat. No more than one drop -- it's like pepper going down your throat! A remarkable product.

I'm using this on my skin and also drinking it. It does burn for a couple of minutes and taste horrible, but really seems to work. If you put it on healthy skin it feels soothing. It only burns on the athletes foot, rash or problem area. I put a few drops in 1 or 2 oz. of water, swish and swallow.I also put it under my tongue, good absorption. I use it as deodorant, too. It seems to work for everything. The book is very helpful, I got a copy from the library but would recommend buying it.

Have used this off and on over a few years. Seems to really work. Taking 2-3 drops three times a day in some OJ at the onset of not feeling well or having a sore throat, seems to knock it out! Keeps you OUT of the doctors office! Highly recommend!

I just used this to get rid of strep throat. I took a capsule of this stuff, full strength, every 3 hours for 5 days. It took care of the strep and I didn't have to use a traditional antibiotic. I didn't take it every 3 hours at night, just one time during the night. Amazing stuff.

This is a very nice, healthy product at a reasonable price. However, I found that I got much better results with a different brand that is a bit higher in price. I have severe exzema and the other brand works faster and smells better.

Planetary Herbals was very prompt with delivery and I would not hesitate to purchase other products from them.

a neighbor told me to get this after me & my kids have been sick 5 times in the past 2 months, most recently with the flu. my kids are 3 & 1. for me, i had a persistent cough, one that kept me & my husband up at night. at a particularly bad coughing episode at 3am, i decided to take 4 drops (without juice) & go back to bed. my cough was gone in a few short minutes. this is the best cough suppressant i've ever used! i wasn't sure about this product until that happened. i was only using the product for about 3 days, then i started feeling better, much better. every time i'd have a coughing fit, i'd take a few drops of oil of oregano. this stuff is really gross tasting though, which is why i would take it with juice. it has a strong smell & it burns a bit in your mouth. i think it's more effective if you can swish it around your mouth & get it under your tongue. now i take it 2 times daily with juice to help us through the winter cold/flu season. i give it to my kids too. i put one drop at a time, a couple times a day, in their milk. they hardly notice it. good stuff! i was told to get a brand that has at least 70% carvacrol to be sure that it had enough antiseptic & healing qualities. this was moderately priced, and well worth the money! bought it on amazon!

I take this Oregano Oil for headaches and to head off colds, with great success. I bought another brand that was cheaper and contained 60% Carvacrol, it does not work as well as this one which contains 70% Carvacrol.
