Oregano Essential Oil

$22.40

Oregano essential oil has a warm, spicy-herbaceous, camphoraceous aroma. This is a very strong oil with 82% carvacrol so should only be used with great care in very low doses. Best used diluted in blends for respiratory and immune conditions as it is a strong dermal & mucous membrane irritant. Must never be used undiluted on the skin, under any circumstances. Oregano essential oil should be avoided on and around babies and children, during pregnancy & breastfeeding.

Our strong recommendation is that oregano essential oil should only be used under the guidance of a professional, qualified essential oil practitioner.
