Guest guest Posted January 9, 2000 Report Share Posted January 9, 2000 hey Yes, I also have the dark circles. They're purplish blue. I've seen others with them before who do not have rosacea (particularly on females). I just thought it was something that came with growing older, but maybe not?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2000 Report Share Posted January 14, 2000 , I am thinking of trying the oregano oil also....what brand are you using? Did you notice a heat sensation after taking it? And what exactly has it done for you....clear up blemishes? What about redness? Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2000 Report Share Posted January 14, 2000 I bought myself some oregano oil and have been using it all week, one drop a day like you said. It really works for me! My skin looks great. I don't know if I should keep taking it, though. It seems like pretty strong stuff, and I got a bit of stomach upset yesterday after taking it. Maybe I I will take a " day off " and continue tomorrow. Or, maybe I need to take it on a full stomach? I feel a bit nervous taking something I know so little about, but I'm very happy with the results. oregano oil Hello All, It's been awhile since I've posted, but I've been trying a few things that have really worked. I'm not sure why this has worked for me, so I'll just tell you what I've done and let you draw your own conclusions. I started out several months ago using the ProActiv program, using all 3 products at night and just the toner in the A.M. My skin cleared up immediately, so I began to wear make-up again, and within a few days the rosacea was back. I continued as before, but started using an oily eye-makeup remover pad all over my face before using ProAcriv. A week later things were improving. I then started using a drop of oregano oil under my tongue every night, and my complexion 2 weeks later was so clear I only needed to cover a few spider veins on my nose (and, of course, those dark circles around my eyes). It's been a month of using the oil, and I've waited to post to see if the results would cont., and they have. I've had email from ProActiv users, saying that it worked for awhile (several months to a year) for rosacea, but that it eventually returned. When I run out of product, I plan to start another cleansing program along with the oil to see if the results continue. The oregano oil was recommended to me long ago, but I never believed it would work. My sister started having rosacea, and remembered the oil suggestion and started using it. Her skin cleared in a week, and the next week I started using it. Sorry this is so long...has anyone else tried this?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2000 Report Share Posted January 15, 2000 Hi It's very common for the body to become resistant to medicines (whether you're treating rosacea or something else). Just like bacteria that becomes resistant to antibiotics, sometimes the ailment you're treating learns to adapt. Alternating treatments is a good idea.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 I called North American Herb & Spice they told me that the people who work there take it everyday w/o any problems. They use it as a preventative measure and he said people around there just don't get sick. Who knows...Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2000 Report Share Posted January 24, 2000 : Yes, I totally agree. The oregano oil is concentrated. maybe we should treat it like a strong drug. Its natural, but extremely potent. Maybe 3 drops is way too much. Maybe it will make other conditions worse. Who knows?

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 hey I currently use OO. I was using the North American Herb and spice brand that is administered via drops under the tongue. The stregth is 50mg. I had good success for a couple days moisturizing my face, then that subsided and the flakes returned. I switched to 200mg capsules sold under the natrol name. They're not helping with facial flakes, but the redness is still less than it was prior to beginning OO treatment. Chris Oregano oil > This is for those who are using oregano oil.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Do they recommend to use an antiparasitic in conjuction with the diet when starting out. Our son responds well to Oregano Oil and I thought we may be able to use the oregano oil at the start of the diet to help kill off some ofthe bad bugs faster. I am a little concerned about not having too much of a die off effect though. Has anyone read any information about this?

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Brad, I know that some parents here do use oil of oregano for yeast control. It's legal on the diet (as long as it's the pure oil) but if you're concerned about the die-off phase, you might want to take a break from it for a couple of weeks, then resume. The diet alone has had a pretty powerful effect on some of the kids in the beginning..... not sure that " faster " is necessarily better when it comes to killing off the bad guys. His little body will need to cope with all the toxins.... could be better to take it nice and easy. I don't think there is any information written up about using O of O plus SCD through those beginning phases, though.... so we might just have to apply common sense. Trust your instincts.
