| Volatile oils from oregano, thyme, peppermint, and rosemary are all effective antifungal agents. A recent study compared the anti-Candida effect of oregano oil with that of caprylic acid.49 While the minimum inhibitory concentration of oregano oil was less than 0.1 meg/ml and the 0.1% survival of C. albicans occurred at a concentration of 45 meg/ml, the minimum inhibitory concentration of caprylic acid was less than 500 meg/ml and 0.1% survival occurred at a concentration of 5,000 meg/ml. |

As a sidebar to the body odor discussion, all the things that come out of your body are strong indicators of your current level of health, as well as what adjustments you need to make in order to be healthier. It's interesting to note that for hundreds of years, physicians actually tasted the urine of their patients and were able to make medical diagnoses by taste analysis alone. As bizarre as this sounds, it actually makes good sense. |

 Anyone with any familiarity with herb gardening would never mistake thyme for oregano or oregano for rosemary, even with their eyes closed. The recent development of aromatherapy is a recognition of the power of our genetic memory of certain herbal substances, which even responds to just the smell of them.
Most humans in the modern world have lost the ancient talent for "intuitive herbalism" that ancient cultures recognized, and that animals still possess. Dogs and cats will nibble certain grasses when they feel ill. |

| If any abnormal organisms are detected, sensitivity testing is done with both natural substances (such as garlic, plant tannins, grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil, and caprylic acid) and pharmaceutical agents (such as antibiotics and antifungals) to determine which agents kill or inhibit the growth of the detected organism. This allows the practitioner and patient to select the right treatment for the particular condition. |

 These are plants that are usually rich in pleasantly aromatic volatile oils, such as basil, peppermint, and oregano. No chef would think of creating culinary delights with stinking iris (Iris foetidissima), skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetida), or goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis). This does not mean these plants are not herbs, but simply that they are not appropriate for cooking because they do not taste good.
In the various branches of medicine, the word herb usually implies a plant that is a healing remedy, either in its crude form or as a source of pharmacologically active chemicals. |
