Thanks for the suggestion. I too have an interest in herbal remedies and I'm starting to grow more and more of the "ingredients". I'm starting small this year but eventually I'd like to have a substantial healing garden. I'm also building my library of books, which I'll probably blog aboutfiona@fionacampbell.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455351263890165906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-58517159182181427092010-06-10T04:27:56.384-04:002010-06-10T04:27:56.384-04:00I took your medical advice, and drank a pint and a...I took your medical advice, and drank a pint and a half of the oil. Now I'm not feeling so well. Everything is moving around slowly. I see little green men flying closely to my eyes. <br /><br />Any chance you might know of an antidote? Also, I've just reread your post and realize that I may have misread your original instructions.<br /><br />Hey wait.

Have you considered making a tincture, tea, or even eating raw thyme as it contains good amounts of both both carvacrol and thymol? My wife and I use a mixture of raw garlic, French sorrel, and thyme whenever we feel anything coming on and so far it has worked like a charm.<br /><br />The Origanum Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-6625973510519417732010-06-09T22:32:03.995-04:002010-06-09T22:32:03.995-04:00Now you made me laugh, Laura!

Knowing my two, they'd probably fuss a bit -- but then again, they are used to my other natural remendy experiments!!fiona@fionacampbell.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455351263890165906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-39804374197208435062010-06-09T22:24:02.185-04:002010-06-09T22:24:02.185-04:00Had to laugh when you said you didn't think it...Had to laugh when you said you didn't think it would work on your kids because of the strong taste. When my kids were small they were victims--I mean, beneficiaries of all my natural remedy experiments. I used to make them take propolis, and fuss at them if they resisted! I'll have to get some Oil of Oregano and keep it next to my Colloidal Silver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-61382542670991027892010-06-09T15:43:49.134-04:002010-06-09T15:43:49.134-04:00Thanks, Erin.

Don't think it would work on the kids though -- it is a really strong taste. Still, it's worthwhile having, epsecially when it's not supposed to be cold/flu season!fiona@fionacampbell.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455351263890165906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-41098010928030780122010-06-09T15:32:39.133-04:002010-06-09T15:32:39.133-04:00Sorry you feel under the weather, I hate that espe...Sorry you feel under the weather, I hate that especially in the summertime!
