Hi there,

Have you tried wild oregano oil for your problem?

I haven't tried it specifically on oral lichen planus, but I used it very successfully with foot & Mouth Disease and Coxsackie virus in the mouth with my kids - both of which cause rampant, extremely painful ulcers all over the tongue and mucous membranes and make it difficult to even swallow liquids.

I recommend either Joy of The Mountains or North American Herb & Spice brands for potency.

Apply with your finger (or other implement) directly to the affected surfaces. If too painful, then use the dropper to simply drop it on and let it spread. Try not to swallow and keep it in your mouth for as long as you can. After swallowing, don't rinse or drink any liquids for at least 20 minutes. It will only give the "hot spicy" feeling for roughly 2.5 minutes. Don't worry, if my 4 year old can take the heat, you can too! Especially after the first time and you experience the relief - it really dulls the pain and they were able to eat soft foods afterwards!

Commercial preparations of WOO (wild oregano oil) are already diluted 1:3 from the essential oil (i.e. 1 drop essential oil of oregano to 3 drops olive oil). NEVER use essential wild oregano oil directly on the skin as it will damage tissue.

Now, if you can't take it "full strength" - by that I mean the commercial preparations I recommended - then make a further dilution with one of these brands of 6:1 (6 drops olive oil to 1 drop commercial wild oregano oil) and this may still be nearly as effective.

In fact, you may want to start with this dilution to test your tolerance and then move up to "full strength".

Apply at least 3x/day.

You can also take an additional 5 drops internally 3x/day to strengthen the systemic anti-pathogen effect if you wish. For a video of how to take it internally, look up my channel on YouTube under: jinithompson

And for more info on wild oregano and flu, anti-viral etc. protocols, see my blog: http://www.ListenToYourGut.com


Well, let me know if that works for you...

all the best,
