Dear Sir/Madam, my daughter aged 5,5 years is prone to urinary infections. Urine culture tests results vary depending on the bacteria type (E. coli was isolated once, Citrobacter freundii one month after that, and the last test showed the presence of Proteus vulgaris). We have consulted another paediatrician and she has doubts in laboratory test results since the child feels no discomfort. I consume oregano oil in certain periods (flu, etc.) and since I feel its benefits I would like my daughter to use it also. I kindly ask for your advice regarding dosing of oregano oil. Thank you in advance.
Dear Sir,
Oregano oil acts on some bacteria causing urinary tract infections such as E. coli, Proteus, Enterobacter spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus fecalis, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas … Oregano oil can be used by children over 3 years of age. Since your daughter feels no discomfort and the laboratory test results show the presence of bacteria in the urinary tract, it is best that oil is used during the period of two weeks: 1 drop/3 times a day. As you know, oregano oil is very hot, so it is best to mix it with yogurt or dilute in a teaspoon of other edible oil (olive, sunflower oil …).
