Oil properties

Oregano oil has a powerful, spicy, camphor-like aroma, is pale yellow in color and medium to watery in viscosity.

Origin of Oregano oil

Oregano is a hardy, bushy perennial herb that grows up to 90cm (35 in) high, with an erect hairy stem, dark green oval leaves and a profusion of pink flowers clustered in heads at the top of the branches.

It is a common garden plant, favored by bees, with a strong aroma when the leaves are bruised.

Oregano is a herb with an ancient medical reputation, now-a-days it is used extensively in Mediterranean cooking and dental preparations.

Extraction

Oregano oil is extracted from the dried, flowering tops of the herb by steam distillation.

Chemical composition

The main chemical components are carvacrol, thymol, p-cymene, cis-ocimene, caryophyllene and linalool.

Precautions

Oregano oil from Origanum vulgare, as well as oil extracted from Thymus capitatus (Spanish oregano), is a dermal toxin, skin irritant and mucus membrane irritant and should not be used in aromatherapy and should also be avoided in pregnancy.

Spanish oregano is also known as Thymus capitans, Coridothymus capitatus, Satureja capitata, Israeli oreganum, Cretan thyme or thyme of the ancients.
