Oregano essential oil, also called ‘Joy of the Mountains’, is rich in carvacrol (80%+) and thymol.
It is a stimulating oil, excellent immune support, especially for respiratory tract, supporting healthy lungs and respiration for clearer breathing.
Oregano essential oil also supports healthy circulation and energy levels, and is a potent anti-microbial, used to cleanse and purify the body.
If you wish to take oregano essential oil internally, it must be diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. 1 drop of oregano in a tablespoon of oil) to help protect mucus membranes. The International Federation of aromatherapists do not recommend taking essential oils internally, therefore it is advised to do so only with the guidance of a qualified practitioner to avoid any unwanted side-effects.
Oregano is generally advised not to use on the skin. Instead, diffuse or inhale the aroma for its therapeutic benefits.
