Most "Common", Nonchronic, Inflammation Related Health Issue
(Sore Throat, Flu/ Influenza, Sinusitis, Earache and Wax removal)
The inflammations discussed below are pathogen related most common inflammations, be it viruses, bacteria or fungus. As such, the recommended practice (of oral intake of the oregano oil formula), comes to help the body cope with these pathogens.
Generally speaking, we want to assist the body's immune system to cope with pathogens to accelerate the recovery and prevent the possibility of damages incurred by the pathogen or by a prolonged inflammation. Read more on this page for more about pathogen related inflammations and the scientific studies that back our recommended OREGANO OIL FORMULA for these most common inflammations.
RECOMMENDED OREGANO OIL RECOVERY FORMULA AND PRACTICE to be used for common, nonchronic, inflammation related health issues. .
The Formula:

Olive oil - Organic, high quality, cold pressed, virgin olive oil.
-
Dilute one part of oregano oil in four parts of olive oil.
Oregano Oil Oral Intake Practice:
Dosage: Adults and children over 12 years:
Days 1 to 3: Take 10-15 drops (body weight dependent: below 120 lb - 10, above 15) 2 times daily on empty stomach,
Days 4 to 10: Take 10-15 drops twice a day on an empty stomach.
-
Rub a little bit of the coconut oil to your leaps (to avoid the stinging of the oregano oil),
-
Fill the oil drops dosage to a teaspoon and swallow,

RECOMMENDED OREGANO OIL RECOVERY FORMULA
Sore Throat
Sore Throat
SORE THROAT - About 10-30% of people approach primary healthcare services with sore throat each year. The causative organisms of sore throat may be bacteria (most commonly Streptococcus) or viruses (typically rhinovirus), although it is difficult to distinguish bacterial from viral infections clinically. In most cases you can treat it at home. Use this oregano oil formula and dosage and expect resolution in a day or two.

Flu / Influenza
FLU (influenza) a communicable viral disease that affects the upper and lower respiratory tract. Between 3 percent and 11 percent of the U.S. population gets infected and develops flu symptoms each year. A wide spectrum of influenza viruses causes it. The flu doesn’t usually require a doctor’s visit.
Use this oregano oil formula and dosage and expect resolution in a day or two.

Flu / Influenza
Sinusitis
Sinusitis
SINUSITIS - Acute sinusitis, also called acute rhinosinusitis, is a short-term inflammation of the membranes that line your nose and surrounding sinuses and impedes your ability to drain mucus from your nose and sinuses. It is triggered by the rhinoviruses, influenza viruses, and parainfluenza viruses, and inflicts about 35 million Americans at least once each year. Acute sinusitis is most commonly due to a cold causing viral infection. In some cases, sinusitis can trigger a sinus headache or pressure in your forehead and cheeks - In most cases you can treat it at home. Use this oregano oil formula and dosage and expect resolution in a matter of a few days.

Pain Treatment - The Standard Approach
The standard approach for treating pain and musculoskeletal injuries typically
involves giving Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID - e.g., ibuprofen), and in more severe cases, opioids.
As detailed below, these drugs are extremely dangerous including sever adverse effects on body organs such as gastric, Renal, Cardiovascular, Hepatic, Hematologic and other minor skin and pulmonary systems (Read more) but nonetheless have remained the standard of pain relief practice for decades.
This article "DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) is a Miraculous Therapy for Chronic Pain and Musculoskeletal Injuries", describes: "DMSO is a remarkably effective pain-killing agent, in many cases allowing individuals who’d been disabled for years by their pain (e.g., a failed spine surgery or severe arthritis—DMSO’s most popular use) to get their lives back. Furthermore, it can treat many types of pain other therapies do not work on (e.g., complex regional pain syndrome)."
Dr Mercola in his article "How DMSO Safely Eliminates 'Incurable' Pain" makes reference to the above article and continues and presents his analysis of the various benefits of DMSO:
-
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) provides powerful pain relief, even helping individuals disabled by conditions like failed spine surgeries or severe arthritis regain health.
-
It is also effective for hard-to-treat pain cases like complex regional pain syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches and post-surgical pain
-
DMSO works through multiple mechanisms to relieve pain, including blocking nerve conduction, reducing inflammation, relaxing muscles, and improving circulation
-
Unlike opioids where tolerance develops over time, DMSO often becomes more effective with continued use, and many patients require it less frequently or not at all as their conditions resolve.
With this wide spectrum of benefits without any noticeable side effects, what is left is the suggested application practice.
DMSO Topical Appllication
-
Use distilled water to achieve the desired concentration DMSO[1].
-
Be aware that the mixture will generate heat when diluting, so the bottle may feel warm.
Concentration Guidelines
-
For general skin application: 50% to 90% DMSO concentration is suitable[2].
-
Use lower concentration for sensitive skin or mucous areas such as face and neck - below 70%.
Additional Considerations
-
Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and unbroken before applying DMSO[1].
-
Allow the applied DMSO to dry for 20 to 30 minutes before wiping off any excess[1].
-
For first-time users, start with a lower concentration to test for sensitivity[3].
Safety Precautions
Heartburn & Acid Reflux
Heartburn & Acid Reflux
The terms acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD are often used interchangeably, but they actually mean different things. Acid reflux is the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus. The feeling of acid reflux is heartburn: a mild burning sensation in the mid-chest, often occurring after meals or when lying down.
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES TO ELIMINATE HEARTBURN AND ACID REFLUX
Acid reflux is an extremely common health problem, affecting as many as 50 percent of Americans. Other terms used for this condition are gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or peptic ulcer disease. The hallmark symptom of acid reflux is “heartburn”—a burning sensation behind your breastbone that sometimes travels up your throat. In some cases, this pain can be severe enough to be mistaken for a heart attack. Conventionally, acid reflux is thought to be caused by excessive amounts of acid in your stomach, which is why acid-blocking drugs are typically prescribed or recommended. This is a serious medical misconception that adversely affects hundreds of millions of people, as the problem usually results from having too little acid in your stomach. Besides addressing your day-to-day diet and optimizing your gut flora, a number of other strategies can also help you get your heartburn under control:
Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar − As mentioned earlier, acid reflux typically results from having too little acid in your stomach. You can easily improve the acid content of your stomach by taking one tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a large glass of water. Still, research of its effectiveness to overcome acid reflux is rather limited
Baking soda − One-half to one full teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in an eight-ounce glass of water to ease the burn of acid reflux as it helps neutralize stomach acid. It is not recommend as a regular solution but it can sure help in an emergency when you are in excruciating pain.
Aloe juice − The juice of the aloe plant naturally helps reduce inflammation, and control the acid secretion in the stomach. which may ease symptoms of acid reflux. Drink about 1/2 cup of aloe vera juice before meals. If you want to avoid its laxative effect, look for a brand that has removed the laxative component.
Ginger root or chamomile tea − Ginger has been found to have a gastroprotective effect by blocking acid and suppressing helicobacter pylori. According to this study, it’s also far superior to lansoprazole for preventing the formation of ulcers, exhibiting six - to eight-fold greater potency over the drug! This is perhaps not all that surprising, considering the fact that ginger root has been traditionally used against gastric disturbances since ancient times. Add two or three slices of fresh ginger root to two cups of hot water. Let steep for about half an hour. Drink about 20 minutes or so before your meal. Before bed, try a cup of chamomile tea, which can help soothe stomach inflammation and help you sleep.
Vitamin D − Vitamin D is important for addressing any infectious component. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in optimizing the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that will help your body eradicate any infection that shouldn’t be there. Discussed in many previous articles, you can increase your vitamin D levels through appropriate amounts of sun exposure, or using a safe tanning bed. If neither of those are available, you can take an oral vitamin D3 supplement; just remember to also increase your vitamin K2 intake.
Ear Pain and Wax Removal
Ear Pain and Wax Removal
Ear Pain originates from a number of different causes. Although potentially painful and frustrating, most are not dangerous. As with most symptoms you experience, it is an indication of something wrong. It's important to also pinpoint the origin of the pain and not just treat the symptom. Most doctors and pediatricians may prescribe antibiotics or pain medication for an earache. however, research demonstrates that most middle ear infections, may be resolved with simple remedies or will be resolved spontaneously within a week.
Note that neither the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nor the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend using antibiotics immediately to treat ear infections. But, ear infections are not the only reason you or your child may experience an ear pain.
Ear pains may be associated with other conditions, not necessarily associated with inflammation, such as toothache, cold or flu, tooth grinding during sleep and more.
The solutions offered below are for the most frequent earache problem, a buildup or blockage in the ear canal.
symptoms:
-
Earache
-
Itching, odor or discharge from your ear
-
Partial or progressive hearing loss
-
Tinnitus, ringing or noises in your ear
-
Feeling of fullness in the ear canal
Recommended Practice - Oregano lotion for EARACHE
As we discuss above oregano oil oral intake practice and its anti-inflammatory formula are a proven solution to many inflammatory related health issues cute including otitis media (an infection of the middle ear that causes inflammation - redness and swelling) and other infection related ear problems. Note! Hydrogen peroxide practice as prescribed below for wax removal is a good alternative for mild earache cases.
Removal of accumulated wax:
Note! According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology (4 Oct 2022) Head and Neck Surgery Foundation, as long as the ears are functioning properly, people should not be trying to remove ear wax, and should leave it alone. For the vast majority, ear wax does not cause any problems and there isn't a need to remove it.
If you feel that the wax impairs your hearing and you want to clear it, start with hydrogen peroxide (Read below), or else, use a water jet irrigator (Read more below)
Ear Plugs! Most common hearing "blockage" - There are many reasons why people would use ear plugs. Most of those users aren't aware that the action of inserting the ear plugs into the ears "drags" with it wax and other skin debris from the ear canal and pushes them towards the ear drum, thereby impairing the hearing ability requiring one of the methods to remove the blockage, as discussed below. Bottomline, try to avoid the usage of ear plugs!
Using a Water Jet (irrigation device)
Use an irrigation device that has a straight nozzle, one that makes it easy to use one hand to irrigate your ear out as opposed to bottles that requires the use of two hands.
Note: There is an advantage to a device that allows you to tilt your head to the side of the treated ear, to allow for easy drip of the water that are coming out, into a sink/bathtub etc.
On a personal level, I prefer an "Oral Irrigator Water Flosser" that allows for an easy navigation of the tip into the ear while the water jet is running out, and easy water temperature adjustment.
Hydrogen Peroxide For EARACHE and WAX REMOVAL:
Use a dropper to drip 5-10 drops of food grade 99.9% hydrogen peroxide into the ear canal, laying on the side to help the drops "slide" into the ear canal. Let it "bubble" for a few minutes and then if it does not drips out, you may want to use an oral irrigator
or use a set of accessories as can be found here.
Note! this recommendation is based on personal experience of all members of our community. This scientific article (among others) substantiates this recommendation but does not mention the oral irrigator or tattoo washing bottle that
we found as great help for the wax removal process.
It is also crucial for people to ensure that they will not have an allergic reaction or be sensitive to the lotion. It is possible to test this by dabbing a tiny amount of the lotion onto a small area of skin. If the skin does not react after a few hours, it should be safe to use the oil.
The skin inside the ear may be more sensitive than other areas, so people should continue to monitor the skin for any signs of irritation.
Notice: Never put anything into the ear canal if you think the eardrum may be ruptured or if you know there is a small hole in your eardrum. If fluid or oils will pass through the hole a permanent damage may be incurred to the delicate bones behind the eardrum, leaving you with permanent hearing loss.
Expected results:
Clearing of the ear, removal of the pain and “back to normal” hearing.
Repetitions:
Some of the accumulated wax may not be sufficiently removed and it may take about 24 hours for it to soften with the solutions that were dripped into the ear.
Repeat the “irrigation” if the problem persists after a day of the first “dripping”. Go to see a doctor if the problem is not resolved after the second “irrigation”.
