I havnt a clue but could this oregeno treatmeant be safe for infants and children? My son cant get enough saturation to be off oxygen. They say its to minimize the scarring of the lungs due to phenumonia. I cant help but to wonder if this could help hes saturation also.

HI,

I'm not knocking oregano, or any other natural treatment, I'm a huge fan of both. However, just an opinion, I would strongly suggest checking with your pediatrician first.
Oregano is pretty powerful stuff, and just b/c it's natural doesn't mean it can't be abrasive to some patients.

I've found with some of the inhaled herbs, they can cause hemoptysis (bleeding), and just irritation. They can also do wonders, but a baby's lungs are so different than an adults.

Just a thought.
