I have found that Oregano Oil has helped my Sinusitis problem. It helps to dry up build up of congestion without drying sinus cavity. I am not sure how much I should be taking. The store clerk where I purchased the product told me three drops under my tongue and washing it down with water is fine. Articles I am reading say one drop diluted. Does anyone know what is correct? Have I been taking too much causing other internal side effects? B.D.
