Description
Oregano oil is one of the most potent and powerful essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional practices. The primary chemical components of Oregano is carvacrol, a phenol that possesses antioxidant properties when ingested. Due to its high phenol content, caution should be taken when inhaling or diffusing Oregano essential oil; only one to two drops is needed.
Additionally, Oregano oil should be diluted with a carrier oil when applied to the skin. One drop taken internally each day can help maintain healthy immune function; Oregano oil can be taken more frequently as needed to further support the immune system. In addition to being a popular cooking spice, Oregano oil also supports healthy digestion and respiratory function when taken internally. Oregano oil’s aroma acts as an enhancer and equalizer in essential oil blends.

- Add one to two Oregano oil drops to a veggie capsule to support healthy respiratory function.
