However, if you search the web, you'll see there is a lot of advice AGAINST giving it to children, and especially pregnant or nursing moms. I just wanted to throw that out there. I would like to let it work its wonders on my 5-year-old, however, I'm not willing to take any chances with him. Also, you can buy it in capsule form at Sprouts and it's super easy to take!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734037382851395459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505544608932186547.post-5794726781806278252015-09-10T08:35:30.615-07:002015-09-10T08:35:30.615-07:00I have just started taking the oregano oil capsule...I have just started taking the oregano oil capsules. I read up on why my stomach was so bloated and slow and the oregano oil is part of the Candida diet regimen. In this diet they focus on getting rid of the yeast and take oregano oil as an antifungal. Either way, it is a wonderful discovery. I had been feeling like crap and full of crap. The diet and probiotics along with a colon cleanse and I am now regular. I had been one to go only every 6-10 days. So this is wonderful in itself. Then there is the oregano oil, I feel more energized than I have felt in a looong time! I have rheumatoid arthritis and the oregano oil has help with the inflammation from that also. I am ready to stop taking some of the pain meds that I am on on a regular basis and only take them when I need them when there is breakthrough pain. It is expensive but not as much as some of my other meds! I will take two capsules every day twice a day for the rest of my life.

I would warn though that ingesting too much could lead to die-off (a nasty toxic reaction familiar to candida sufferers) so it would be a good idea to take some Milk Thistle to offset the possible effects.<br /><br />I also find a swallowing a minced garlic clove works wonders on a sore throat.
