Did you know?
The name "oregano" comes from the Greek words oros (mountain) and ganos (brightness or joy), literally translating to "joy of the mountain". The ancient Greeks and Romans cherished it, believing it symbolized happiness, and even used it in wedding ceremonies. Legends are saying Aphrodite grew it on Mount Olympus to bring joy, making it a truly ancient, delightful herb.

Oregano essential oil is one of a group of oils that are known as “hot oils” So, less is definitely more! Start with a very small amount until you are sure you can “stand the heat.” 🔥
Oregano Vitality contains naturally occurring aromatic compounds, including carvacrol, which is responsible for its strong, warming sensation.
Carvacrol has been widely studied in the scientific literature for its interaction with biological systems, which helps explain why oregano oil is considered one of the most potent and stimulating essential oils. For those interested in the science, carvacrol is a well-studied plant compound (only a short search away) — but individual essential oils are not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease.
