More About Oregano Essential Oil

Evoking the warmth and spice of a lively kitchen, oil of oregano finds its origins in the mint family (Labiatae, the largest, most prolific aromatic plant group). Oregano's name comes from the Greek word oreganos, which loosely translated means "joy of the mountains." Growing low to the ground with hardy purple flowers, common oregano (Origanum marjoram) bustles over the edge of window boxes and through English gardens everywhere with strength and vitality. Used widely as a spice, particularly in Mediterranean dishes, the plant takes on new meaning and packs a powerful, potentially dangerous punch when stripped down to its essence as oregano essential oil. Carvacrol, a major component in the oil of oregano (Organum syriacum), makes it effective in calming upset stomachs and aides in proper digestion (do not use the essential oil of oregano internally). Oil of oregano has also become known for boosting and strengthening the immune system and regulating menstruation.

Aromatic Profile and Blending Suggestions for Oil of Oregano

Oregano essential oilÕs spicy, herbaceous, slightly camphoraceous scent enlivens the mind, opens the heart and warms the spirit. To balance the fiery nature of oil of oregano, we recommend that you diffuse lesser proportions of oregano oil in combination with conifer oils such as pine oil and spruce oil, or other essential oils such as eucalyptus oil, lavender oil, white sage oil, thyme oil, and myrtle oil. Used cautiously and diluted considerably, oil of oregano can be directly inhaled as a valuable home remedy for sinus and respiratory infections and to ease skin and muscle inflammation.
