Can attest to that! On my daughter's advice, I got oil of oregano. She said to put a drop under the tongue to ward off a cold. My mouth felt like it was on fire, but the cold never developed. Since then I've diluted it, and it works very well. Also, the smell is very strong. I've kept it wrapped in a sealed freezer bag, and put it in a jar.
You are SO correct...I have tried to let people know that when they use Essential Oils one of the first things you have to do is understand the oil and then secondly...respect the oil...knowledge is power...
Robert Tisserand wrote the definitive book on essential oil safety and he consults with Plant Therapy...
There are certain oils that are safe for children at certain ages and others that are not....people need to understand these are potent weapons to be utilized with caution and understanding....

It is the only comprehensive text on the safety of essential oils, the first review of essential oil/drug interactions, and it provides detailed essential oil constituent data not found in any other text.
People need to realize how important safety is...sure lavender is generally pretty safe...but oregano...use with caution, understanding and knowledge...absolutely...glad you know and love Tisserand...what a worthy contribution to EO literature....
Be careful, people reading this.
I use Oreganol brand P73, super strength.
It must be diluted or it will kick your behind.
Very hot.
So just check the strength before you order and test it before you use it.

It makes my heart happy to see Tisserand referenced.

Thank you. I pre-date the "smell this and if you like it rub it on your skin" school of aromatherapy.
