How should I use frankincense oil in the treatment of ulcerative colitis?
Dear Sir/Madam, Numerous studies have shown that preparations based on Indian frankincense (Boswellia seratta) relieve inflammation in chronic inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, arthritis... Frankincense oil is taken in an amount of 3 drops a day. Oil should be applied on a sugar cube or diluted in teaspoon of olive oil and ingested. Kind regards!

Can women use nutmeg oil? I have pains in muscles and ankles. Thank you in advance.
Dear Madam, Nutmeg oil may be used also by women. It is sufficient to drink 2-3 drops a day, while oil is rubbed into painful areas of your body. The best way to dilute it is to mix 1 drop of nutmeg oil with 4 – 5 drops of olive or any other carrier oil. Best regards!
Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to know which oil is better for problematic and oily to dry hair which is rather dehydrated? Jojoba or hazelnut oil? What is your recommendation?
Dear Madam, We would recommend jojoba oil for the hair type you described. Jojoba oil in its baseline is very similar to human sebum, and/or natural oil secreted by human skin and it may be used in treating different skin problems. Rub jojoba oil into the scalp and leave it to act at least for a half an hour which will make your hair soft. Jojoba oil may be easily rinsed with a shampoo. You may also add several drops of oil into the shampoo to prevent entangling of your hair and jojoba oil will act as a regenerator as

What is your recommendation for treating ulcerative colitis. My daughter has been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis – pancolitis and I would like to know whether she could drink any of your oil products along with regular treatment with Pentasa?
Dear Sir/Madam, Numerous studies have been conducted in recent years concerning boswellic acid found in frankincense. It has anti-inflammatory effect and thus a positive effect in reducing inflammatory processes in patients suffering from Chron’s disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis... Frankincense oil may be used but only in the remission phase (peaceful phase of illness without discomfort).
Dear Sir/Madam, I have had the acne problem for 7-8 years now (I am 23 years old), mostly in the area of jaw and neck. The skin on my face is oily and I have dandruff and oily scalp. Physicians suspected I had polycystic ovaries, since I suffered from hormonal misbalance for some time, but not to a great extent. My period is regular now, but acne just won’t go although many people tell me that the acne, when they appear, reflect hormonal misbalance. What is your recommendation? Should I take oregano oil or some oder oil? Should I apply it on the skin or should I drink it? Thank you in advance! Best regards from Montenegro!
Dear Madam, Our advice is to start drinking oregano oil. Oregano oil is a very strong antiseptic acting on the main causes of acne formation - Propionibacterium acnes. Our customers’ previous experience is quite good in solving similar problems in this way. When acne and inflamed face skin soothe a bit, you can try to apply locally Probotanic oils for acne which is a mixture of unrefined jojoba oil and tea tree oil. Best regards!
Dear Sir/Madam, I have a couple of questions related to skin care using your Probotanic oils: 1. Which oil is better for treating sensitive skin – jojoba or hazelnut oil? 2. Can jojoba and/or hazelnut oil be used on a daily basis in the morning and in the evening without the need to use a cream? 3. Is it good to mix jojoba and hazelnut oil? Thank you in advance, Marijana
Dear Marijana, Both types of oil are of good quality and have a beneficial skin effect due to their composition. There is a small difference between them - oily and sensitive skin prone to acne should be treated with jojoba oil, while hazelnut oil is better for dry/oily skin. They can be used for daily skin care both independently or as a mixture with other oils, and/or creams. Hazelnut and jojoba oil may be mixed without fear that their efficiency will be reduced in a mixture. Probotanic does not have marigold macerate, or any other product based on marigold. Facial
Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to know whether I could use your oregano oil if I breastfeed a child 15-months old. I breastfeed her in the morning and in the evening and once or twice during the night. Thank you in advance!
Dear Madam, Oregano oil is not intended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Dear Sir/Madam, what do you recommend for treating flatulence?
Dear Sir/Madam, We recommend peppermint oil from our product portfolio. Peppermint oil relaxes digestive tract muscles, relieves spasms and eliminates flatulence. Menthol from peppermint helps digestion by stimulating the circulation of digestion fluids and bile. It is taken 1 – 2 times a day, 3 drops diluted in a cup of warm tea of on a sugar cube.
Can clove oil be consumed orally or only inhaled?
Dear Sir/Madam, Clove oil is very strong. If taken orally, it should not be used more than 1 - 2 drops a day. It must be taken diluted with a teaspoon of olive or other oil that you use. You may also dilute it in one-third cup of yogurt or tomato juice. A good way to use it is dry inhalation – apply 1-2 drops on a tissue and inhale oil for several minutes.
Dear Sir/Madam, I am 39 years old and I have been consuming fennel oil for 6 months now. I’ve seen its fantastic results in regulating my period – I don’t have pains, I don’t have “cleaning” lasting 4-5 days after the period. My question is if fennel oil increases appetite as in the last 3 months my appetite has been rather strong and whether I could use the oil in continuity or I should make some breaks. Thank you in advance, Milka
Dear Madam, We are glad to receive a positive feedback on your good experience in using our fennel oil. Fennel oil may increase the appetite if it is taken before meals. It is best that you take it after a meal since in that way it will speed up your metabolism and digestion by acting on bowel motility. Oil is taken before meals for increasing appetite. It may be taken for a longer period of time if it does good to you.
Dear Sir/Madam, is “Florum” a certified organic product (like oregano oil and tea) and can it replace oregano oil in its effect as I find oil too strong and I cannot get used to taking it? Thank you!
Dear Sir/Madam, All wild oregano oil products – oregano oil, Origanol strong capsules, Florum and tea are organic products. Florum capsules are much weaker than oregano oil and therefore less efficient compared to oil. Their use is recommended in treating urinary infections and in prevention of cold and flu. If you have problems with urinary infections, we would rather recommend that you take Origanol strong and oregano tea.
I have purchased peppermint oil. How is it used to resolve greasy hair problem?
Dear Madam, For treating greasy hair and scalp, the best thing is to add 10 drops of peppermint oil into a neutral shampoo of 200 - 250 ml. Shake well the shampoo bottle before each use and hair wash. Peppermint oil may be added to hair conditioners. It is sufficient to add 1 - 2 drops to the conditioner pack.
I use your wild oregano oil to treat bacteria in urine and I am satisfied with the results at the very beginning of the treatment! Thank you very much for that. I would like to ask for your help again: I have fungal skin infection on my back and the skin is darker because of that. I have had this problem for years and it slowly expands. I have used some Koto-derma products but I was not persistent enough. Could I use oil for treating this skin problem and how should I use it? Thank you in advance and best regards! Dijana
Dear Dijana, We are pleased to hear new good experiences of our customers and thank you very much for sharing it with us. In case of fungal skin infections, oregano oil may be used but in a diluted form. That proportion is 4 - 5:1 in favour of the other oil (olive, sunflower, flaxseed oil, apricot kernel oil). For the start you should mix 4 – 5 drops of carrier oil with 1 drop of oregano oil. The mixture should be applied first to healthy skin (e.g., upper arm). If you feel that your skin burns too much, you should
