Shampoo & conditioner are heavy items!
To make it worth it, you should order all the bulky items togyuer in 1 shipment. Tt's what I normally do & my shipping for US$240 is ard US$30.
you must know how to play around with the items to maximise shipping.
Some of my friends split their items into a few packages.

But when girls were younger - about ur ds age, I bought Oregano oil (from Vitakids) which also has anti-bacterial properties. As the oil is very strong, I did not want dds to take it neat.

When the girls were younger and had runny nose or congestion, this is what I did:

1. Splash 2-3 drops onto my hands, rub the oil in both hands, and then gently rub the oil into dds chest (whilst they were sleeping). I did not rub the oil directly onto dds chests as the heat from the oil is very strong, so I let my hands absorb the heat, thereby reducing the discomfort for my kids.

2. Massage their feet with the oregano oil, ala foot reflexology concept. The soles of the feet will absorb the oil into their system.

Now, that they are older, I get them to take it neat - 2 drops under their tongues. Alternatively, if ds is older and can swallow, you can give him capsules which is easier for the child to ingest.

:lol:

Dear Schweppes,

Oregano oil really works !! Its waaaay sooooo much more effective than baby vicks.

I have used that on 2 occasions when DS's nose was congested and he slept literally like a baby, unlike in the past when we used vicks.

I don't know about you, but I find the aroma absolutely divine :love:

Thanks for this 'valuable' tip :celebrate:

Actually, if you like the smell of oregano oil, try planting borage in your home. It has a similar smell to oregano - must be from the same plant family.


According to dh, it is a natural insect repellant. We grow 2 pots at home. So far, keeping the mozzies at bay. Or at least in the hall, since that's where my potted borage plants are.

But sure interested to find out more ....

Is it an indoor plant?? How do I go about planting/buying it?? How do I maintain it???

Ok... u give me one day to get back to u on this one. I need to ask my farmer husband. Actually, he didn't buy it, just came home one day with the plant - with roots and all. As u can see, dh doesn't get me flowers, I get plants and vege instead. :stupid: But that's another story altogether... :roll:

Btw, when I next reply, will transplant this borage thingy to the \"tried and tested\" thread. Otherwise the mobsters, oops mods will come and :heresmyfish: me
