Oregano for pneumonia and bronchitis

For most of my life, each Fall I had a bout with bronchitis. As I got older, the illness became more severe, sometimes causing me to be in bed for as long as 3 weeks. Through most of that time, not knowing any better, I would be treated with antibiotics, and later tried homeopathics, which - for this ailment - was not successful.

After joining Young Living, I read that Oregano was very powerful for killing off streptococcus pneumoniei - the 'critter' behind pneumonia and bronchitis. From then on, at the first sign of a problem, I would fill 3 capsules a day with approximately 15 drops of Oregano, and also rubbed Oregano diluted with some V6 mixing oil on my throat and chest. If there was a sore throat coming on (often the first sign), I would take a teaspoon of honey and add a couple of drops each of Oregano and Thieves blend oils. It has been six years since I've had a bout of bronchitis!
