I take PURE wild, Turkish oregano oil internally but in tiny amounts ... max 8 drops a day. This one is anti-baterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal.

May I refer you to my post here?:

It talks about the need for bile salt production to break-down and assimilate ANY oils, including essential oils. If you have a health problem, everything links back to a slow production of bile salts. Therefore, taking essential oils INTERNALLY can give you an allergic reaction to the oils. So, be very careful. If you do take them, never take them for more than 7 days at a time. Then get off of them for a week or two, then proceed.
However, it's pretty harmless to inhale the essential oils as is done in aroma therapy. Though without a necessary liver tonic which lays the groundwork for using essential oils, you'll only get a short-term, symptomatic relief.
