Pam's Pick: If you have, like my family has, contracted several cold/flu viruses lately, you may be interested in this effective homeopathic remedy our friends told us about: Oil of Oregano.

After doing a bit of online research, I discovered that Oil of Oregano has been extensively studied, and has additional health benefits, including treatment of skin irritations, digestive upset, sore throats, and sinus congestion. I can personally attest to the effectiveness of Oil of Oregano as a decongestant. It can be found in most health food stores, but it is important to purchase a bottle that includes the compound carvacrol. But take note; if you have allergies to herbs or difficulty absorbing iron, this may not be the remedy for you. FMI: http://www.homeremediesweb.com/oil_of_oregano_health_benefits.php.
