Description
Oregano essential oil has a warm, herbal, camphor-like aroma with spicy notes. Oregano oil is well known for its potent ability to protect health. It wipes away germs, and helps the body regain its natural balance. Oregano oil’s strength is largely thanks to a component called “carvacrol,” which can cause skin irritation, so it is important to dilute this oil well. AroMed’s certified organic oregano essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the plant cultivated in Hungary.

Skin sensitization is possible if using old and/or oxidized oils. Essential Oils are typically used via inhalation and/or topical application while properly diluted.
