Oregano oil: powerful and to be used with respect
One of the most intense essential oils, rich in carvacrol. We sort it out honestly and safely.
To safetyVery strong, very concentrated
True essential oregano oil is distilled from oregano and is rich in carvacrol. It is among the sharpest and most intense essential oils and is correspondingly irritating on the skin when used neat.
There are also oily oregano macerates for the kitchen, which are something different from the highly concentrated essential oil.

How to use it safely
- Never neat on the skin: always dilute strongly in a base oil, or irritation threatens.
- Do not simply ingest: internal use belongs in expert hands, not in self-treatment.
- Not for babies and toddlers: and in pregnancy only after professional advice.
- Keep away from pets: cats in particular tolerate essential oils poorly.
