Oregano Oil  Origanum vulgare

Although it is best known as a popular cooking herb, the uses of Oregano essential oil extend far beyond the kitchen. Oregano is among the most potent and versatile of all essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional practices.

Description

Oregano essential oil is one of the most potent topical cleansing agents among all essential oils thanks to its high concentration of phenols carvacrol and thymol. These compounds also give Oregano a powerful, fortifying aroma, which can be best experienced by using a drop during a soothing chest massage or by applying it to the bottoms of feet. Alternately, you can use Oregano on cuticles to promote healthy-looking nail beds. The delicious, herbal flavour of Oregano oil can also be used to substitute or enhance the taste of fresh and dried oregano in your favourite kitchen recipes.

Because of its potency, use caution when inhaling or diffusing Oregano essential oil, using only one to two drops, and always dilute when applying to the skin.

Uses

• Blend with a carrier oil and apply to the bottoms of feet.
• Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to cuticles to maintain healthy-looking nailbeds.
