Is it worth it to eat fruit past it's prime?

Q: Can I take oil of oregano when pregnant?

A: Oregano oil is a very strong herb and is not recommended during pregnancy, unless diluted or low strength. Dilute it with water and take it very sporadically – only when absolutely essential (not for preventative reasons). Another option is to apply it topically (mix it with a carrier oil like olive oil first). For example, if your glands are swollen, you can rub it right onto your glands.
