I highly recommend the book Day mentioned below. The guy who wrote it,
Cass Igram/Ingram (depending on which edition you get) is responsible
for much oregano oil testing you see at pub Med. The protocols offered
in the book are based on oregano oil that has been diluted by ~95%.
That is, 5% origanum vulgare, 95% extra virgin olive oil. The book does
not say this but the oil he was selling at the time he wrote it was
exactly that. He suggests treatments in drop dosages sometimes several
times/day. NEVER neat (undiluted). Liver damage is a very serious
issue as is sensitization.
He owns North American Herb & Spice
http://www.northamericanherbandspice.net/ and sells oregano oil from
there as well as in health food stores and mail order across the USA.
While his essential oils are likely good enough for ingestion, I
wouldn't buy them because of the price. I've been buying from Butch
--who sold Igram's his first oregano oil-- since '94 because of price,
etc. He founded (may have completely retired recently) the site
recommended by Garnet and Gail, av-at.com/ <http://www.av-at.com/>
As Day said, you can take it undiluted internally and you won't die,
probably. But why endure the pain or introduce fear? I dilute what I
use on my gums down to 40% and it's still quite powerful.
If you did enough research to know why you were taking it, you'd also
have enough info to make decisions about how to take it. The CS list is
a great place to start. Now buy the book, join a bona fide essential
oil list for a while or search pub med, etc. or more.

PS, Igram also has done testing on other essential oils--rosmary, black
seed, tea tree and more.

I use it undiluted. It is HOT!, be prepared... The directions are
in the book "The Cure is in the Cupboard" It's inexpensive, most
health food stores carry it.

Kathy,
Some people do take it on or in their food. Other people put it in
capsules, others only
inhale! It needs to be *DILUTED* a lot. I have put a drop or 2 in my
lentil soup when I've felt a cold coming on and then not gotten sick numerous
times. Again, I really recommend the oils_herbs_etc archives
for oregano info.

Are you looking for herb or oil?
If you are looking for wild grown oregano oil, this is an
excellent source. I've
ordered from them for several years and find them trustworthy
(which is saying a lot in the aromatherapy business.)
and their prices are excellent.
Their oil is not diluted. You can join oils_herbs_etc at
yahoo groups and access their archives to learn a lot
about oregano oils. If you search for posts by Butch
about oregano you will find a lot of info.
