Oregano Organic Essential Oil

Our organic Oregano Essential Oil is steam distilled from the delicate, green leaves of the Origanum vulgare herb, cultivated in the Spain. With its enlivening warm, herbaceous, spicy-sweet and peppery aroma, Oregano Essential Oil is certainly one of nature's powerhouses.

Oregano Oil contains two powerful compounds, Carvacrol and Thymol, both of which have been shown in studies to have strong anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Carvacrol, a monoterpenic phenol, has widespread uses ranging from treating allergies and bacterial infections to protecting the skin. When used appropriately, Oregano Essential Oil makes an excellent addition to any essential oil collection. Oregano Essential Oil is known as a ‘hot oil’ and is very potent, so should be approached with extra care – only a very small amount is needed to reap the many benefits.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.

SAFETY

Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.
