Re: Oregano - thanks for all of the excellent info, which I have saved for future reference.
I use a variety of methods to try to prevent or treat viruses, somewhat different for bacterial, which is usually a more localized infection (sinus, for instance, or other). I use herbs primarily, some herb tinctures, and EOs, as well as methods like steam inhalations (prevention and treatment), hot foot baths, ginger tea (and other teas) and so on.
Since I have asthma and never had a good stout immune system, and been through a lot of “stuff”, I have had a lot of experience with which to try things. :-D
I plan to post a bunch on the Natural Healing thread but can’t today, guests are coming and have to clean a lot.
