For the people that have had success with the oil of oregano, can you please let me know how to take it and what brand or brands are the best? My GI would like me to try it for my pouchitis. Thanks!

This one, Teliaoils, had amazing reviews on Amazon (1oz Oil of Oregano, Super Strenght 83-85% Carvacol, Pharmaceutical Grade. Wild Oregano From Greek Mountains), but since it's crazy concentrated, it has to be diluted if you are take it internally. Are you buying it already encapsulated or are you diluting and encapsulating yourself?

Would oregano oil pills be as effective?
ciz81, I have been taking the oregano oil for a couple months now with success. I use do terra oil as it was recommended by a functional MD with the correct combination of ingredients and right concentrate. You MUST take the drops in a veggie cap and the do terra oils come in a dropper. You need to start out with a smaller dose like 2 drops in the Am and 2 drops at night then go to 3, then 4 drops 2X day then if needed go to 4 drops 3X a day which is what I am doing. Do it slowly see how your body reacts. I heard Joy of the mountains brand also meets the criteria necessary as well. There are so many strengths of oregano oil pills and you can't control dosage as well that it is not recommended.
Why does the oil have to be in a capsule? I think the directions to take orally say to dilute in a glass of water or tbs of olive oil.
