Oregano oil is one of the most potent and powerful essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional practices.
Oregano has so many health benefits, but the essential oil is very strong and not so easy to ingest, so adding it to food is the perfect solution.
I dilute 20 drops of dōTERRA Oregano oil in good quality olive oil and keep it in this handy little dropper bottle (click here to order some from my website). This way it’s always on hand, and super easy to add to any dish without overwhelming it with Oregano flavour.
The primary chemical components of Oregano is carvacrol, a phenol that possesses antioxidant properties when ingested. Due to its high phenol content, caution should be taken when inhaling or diffusing Oregano essential oil; only one to two drops is needed.
Additionally, Oregano oil should be diluted with a carrier oil when applied to the skin. One drop taken internally each day can help maintain healthy immune function; Oregano can be taken more frequently as needed to further support the immune system.* In addition to being a popular cooking spice, Oregano oil also supports healthy digestion and respiratory function when taken internally.* Oregano’s aroma acts as an enhancer and equalizer in essential oil blends.
