Dear Sir/Madam, how can we use wild oregano oil for treating the infection caused by itching mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) in 15-month old baby? In what proportion should it be used in adults? I have mixed a handful of aloe gel with 1 drop of oregano oil and found it to be very strong. I had a feeling my skin burned but it was over soon. What is the safest proportion to be used in adults, and/or in babies? Thank you very much for your answer!!!
Dear Sir,
Local administration is not recommended for the child of that age. For use by adults, oregano oil is diluted with some other oil (olive, almond, apricot kernel oil, sunflower oil…) in proportion of 5:1 in favour of the other oil. It is best that you apply a small quantity of the mixture to your upper arm and if it is strong and you feel that your skin burns, you may dilute it a bit more.
