Oregano Essential Oil - Organic (Origanum Vulgare L.)

Our organic Oregano Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Origanum vulgare L., and the country of origin is Turkey. The oil is golden-orange with a thin consistency. Its aroma is herbal, peppery and warm.

Oregano is an effective antiseptic, and diluted in a carrier oil it is handy for minor cuts and scrapes. It is antibacterial too, which makes it useful when you want to help cleanse your surroundings of bacteria.

For the breath, Oregano works as an expectorant. It helps clear the ear, nose and throat passages, which brings more clarity to the breath and to the head. For a stuffy day, add 5 drops to a pot of steaming water, put a towel over your head and breathe in the steam with your eyes closed.

Oregano is a strong oil, so always dilute it before it touches your skin. For skin use we suggest 6 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier oil, which is a 1 to 2% dilution, and a patch test if your skin is sensitive. In a nebulizing diffuser, 8 to 20 drops is typical, following the maker's instructions.

This batch is led by carvacrol at 66.39%, followed by para-cymene at 11.25% and gamma-terpinene at 4.58%. If you like strong herb and spice oils, we also carry Sweet Thyme, Clove Bud and Cinnamon Leaf. Oregano comes in 5ml, 10ml, 30ml and 60ml bottles, and the bigger the bottle, the lower the price per ml.
