The oregano herb has been highly valued by people along the Mediterranean for its purifying and flavor enhancing properties for centuries. Today it has become a staple in various cuisines world-wide.

Cautions
Use with a carrier for sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician if you are pregnant, nursing or under a doctor’s care. Do not put oils directly in your eyes (oils can drip into eyes – if this happens, flush with fractionated coconut oil, not water). Do not drip oils into the ear canal. Avoid sensitive areas.
