Oregano Oil is very potent. One drop of that essential oil in one's salad dressing is hot hot hot. Anyway, it got rid of my severe sore throat, so I was one very happy camper. Warning: it can burn the skin and throat. Follow the directions on bottle. Never use full strength. It is hotter than cayenne pepper, and like cayenne pepper, water just spreads the misery. (ouch) Oil helps to dilute and cool it.
Eucalyptus Oil was used during WWII by the Aussies. I was told by a former military officer that during a flu epidemic, they would have any soldiers who complained of flu symptoms march bare foot in piles of eucalyptus leaves before retiring for the evening. Then they would sleep like babies and improve dramatically. Not surprisingly, eucalyptus oil is used in a lot of balm preparations (like Badger Balm) for respiratory infections.
WARNING: If you have a severe sore throat, respiratory or flu symptoms, please contact your doctor and follow his advice.

I rely on natural supplements, and can't say I've gotten benefit from oils. One possible exception is oregano, as a general immune booster / cold fighter. But MAN does it stink! |

+1 for fish oils, and flax / safflower. Those aren't the typical essential oils though. I agree with those that say topical use. Tea tree oil is GREAT to add to cleaners, for just about any purpose |

I swish and gargle with oregano oil 1-2x per week, sometimes more often. Yes it does stink!! lol I'm used to it now though. |

Anytime I can see slight skin irritations coming on, I dab a qtip with tea tree and water, and then gently dab the skin. After about a minute I rinse with cold water. Tea tree will burn your skin -- so make sure you dilute it! It heals any impending acne quickly. |

Yes, they are helpful.
A seminar I once watched advocated that the Bible teaches on the following for health:
1. Proper diet
2. Hygene
3. Essential oils
4. Prayer |

How much per day? I bought a tub of this and started a spoonful a day.
