Oregano is classed as one of the more powerful and versatile oils. It contains a high concentration of both carvacol and thymol,two phenol chemicals having cleansing properties. Oregano oil uses both components, thus making it one of the best household cleansing agents known within the use of essential oils. Oregano oil can be taken internally to help support the immune system, improve the respiratory function, and to maintain healthy digestion.
It is very effective with a few drops in the cup of a steam vaporiser for cold and flu - a towel over head - and even breaths in and out through the nose. If the nasal passages are restricted a spray with something like Becanase may help.

An article on the health benefits of different mushrooms. I drink an extract of 6 different mushrooms every day - well most days... I certainly know it when I forget for a couple of days! Drinking the extract has reduced inflammation throughout my body and reduced arthritic pain to zero. So I definitely know when I've missed a few days, because the pain in my hands is back, and I feel varying levels of pain throughout the rest of my body. So I drink the mushrooms again and the pain is gone after a day. I swear by this stuff!
