The same researchers also tested oregano oil's effects on mice who had been injected with the yeast Candida albicans. In the study, published last year in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, all six of the mice fed oregano oil survived more than 30 days with no sign of Candida infection, while all six mice that were fed just olive oil died within seven days.

A small study published in Phytotherapy Research in 2000 examined the effects of oregano oil on n adults with the intestinal parasite Blastocystis hominis, which can cause diarrhea, **** itching, and weight loss. Participants took 600 mg of oregano oil daily for six weeks. Eight were completely free of the parasite, and the remaining three participants had a reduction in symptoms.

To treat bacterial and fungal infections that occur in other parts of your body, place I drop of the pure oil under your tongue twice a day, suggests Brett.
For fungal infections on your skin and nails, dilute I teaspoon oregano oil in 2 teaspoons olive oil and apply with a cotton swab to the affected area up to three times a day, she says.
Oregano oil is potent, so you should not exceed these doses. Also, discontinue use within three weeks, Brett advises.
