Although it is best known as a popular cooking herb, the uses of Oregano essential oil extend far beyond the kitchen. Oregano is among the most potent and versatile of all essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional wellness practices.
 
Oregano essential oil is one of the most potent topical cleansing agents among all essential oils thanks to its high concentration of phenols carvacrol and thymol. These compounds also give Oregano a powerful, fortifying aroma, which can be best experienced by using a drop during a soothing chest massage or by applying it to the bottoms of feet. You can also use Oregano oil on cuticles to promote healthy-looking nail beds. The delicious, herbal flavour of Oregano oil can also be used to substitute or enhance the taste of fresh and dried oregano in your favourite kitchen recipes.  Less is more.  Often one drop is enough.
 
Because of its potency, use caution when inhaling or diffusing Oregano essential oil, using only one to two drops, and ALWAYS dilute when applying to the skin.  Avoid getting into eyes (can easily happen if rubbing eyes)
