Oregano Essential Oil

Oregano, native to Mediterranean Europe and Western Asia, is a small, flowering shrub belonging to the mint family. Often referred to as wild marjoram, it has a rich history as a culinary herb, imparting a profoundly herbaceous flavor and aroma to a variety of dishes.

The essential oil derived from oregano is notable for its robust fragrance, primarily attributed to the potent constituent carvacrol. Carvacrol is not only responsible for the aromatic profile but also contributes to the warming sensation experienced when this oil is applied topically to the skin. Due to its intensity, Oregano essential oil should always be diluted before applying to the skin.

Additionally, Oregano Vitality is a variation of this oil specially formulated for culinary use. It introduces a delightful, savory dimension to your favorite dishes, elevating their flavors. Beyond its culinary appeal, Oregano Vitality may offer support for both the immune and digestive systems when ingested as a dietary supplement.

It’s important to note that Oregano and Oregano Vitality are essentially the same essential oil, with the distinction being their labeling. Oregano is intended for aromatic and topical use, while Oregano Vitality is labeled for internal or dietary use. This versatile oil can be enjoyed in various ways, adding both flavor and potential wellness benefits to your daily routine.
