Can rabbits eat oregano leaves?

Rabbits can't eat dried spices or herbs. Any dried spiced leaf or herb will give your rabbit diarrhea. Spices are unhealthy for most animals, including rabbits. Spices are too potent for animals.

Fresh oregano is a strong-tasting plant, and some rabbits like it, but some don't. If your rabbit likes oregano, it's fine to include it as a "salad" green. A daily salad is healthy for a rabbit! Salad greens should be rotated from within a wide variety so that you don't serve any one kind too much. Some plants can be dangerous if served too often.

See the related question below for more details about the rabbit diet, and helpful links.

Can you rinse your mouth with oil of oregano?

If you do rinse your mouth with straight oil of oregano you will wish you hadn't

because it burns like crazy, sometimes even when diluted with water or olive oil, as is recommended. I have heard of some people having severe allergic reaction to it. So I recommend you read up on how to use it before you try it.

Answer2: It can be used to rinse but straight without a few drops of olive oil will set your mouth on FIRE. Put under the tongue mixed with a few drops of olive oil should work.

Dosage of oregano for asthma?

If you wish to use Oregano Tea in treating your asthma, according to the "Herbal Medicine Handbook" published by Springhouse, in Springhouse, PA copyright 2005, use one heaping teaspoon of dried oregano in a large cup...pour 8 ounces of boiling water into this and steep for 10 minutes. The tea may be sweetened with honey if you are not allergic. If you are taking iron supplements, separate taking your iron pill at least 2 hours before or after drinking this tea as the oregano may interfere with the absorption of the iron. It can also be used as a bath. Please read carefully. In a *large* pitcher or other heat-proof container, place 100 grams of oregano and pour in one liter of boiling water...(that's about 1/2 of one of those large platic pop bottles) and let it steep for 10 minutes. Add that to a your bath water and sit in the bath and breathe the steam. Do NOT have the water so hot you cannot sit in it. My final caution is if your asthma is really bad, don't wait for the oregano to clear it up. If you are having problems breathing, get yourself or whoever is having breathing problems to the nearest emergency room!
