I am using oregano oil as a treatment for toenail fungus on my left foot. I also have (had) planters warts on both feet. I was treating one foot and both feet are completely free of warts. I'm still working on the toenail fungus though.

Comment:
I used dry leaves of oreganum vulgare to brew a tea for a sore throat that has lasted months. I used 1/3 teaspoon for a cup and it gave me bleeding which seems to be my period except over 10 days earlier. I also got bad cramping and diarrhea. It helped with the throat problems but I think it's too strong and the oil might be even more.
