Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a powerful and versatile essential oil with a long history of traditional use as both a flavor enhancer in cooking as well as medicinal applications. It supports the immune system and has been shown to be antiviral and antibacterial and to have antioxidant properties. One of the primary chemical components of oregano is carvacrol, a phenol that possesses antioxidant properties when ingested.

CAUTIONS: Due to its potency, start with the smallest dose possible. Possible skin sensitivity. Oregano oil should be diluted with a carrier oil when applied to the skin. High in phenols, oregano may irritate the nasal membranes or skin if inhaled directly from a diffuser or bottle. If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid using it if you're allergic to mint, sage, basil, or lavender. If you're allergic to any of these, you're likely allergic to oregano as well. Do not take oregano oil if you have a bleeding disorder or are on any medications that alter clotting of your blood.
