NOW: Oregano Oil

This slightly minty, slightly spicy herb is actually a member of the mint family. When burned, its oil gives off a pleasant, calming aroma. In the kitchen, it's commonly used to add zest to Italian foods. And from a health perspective, it helps support immune function by naturally assisting the body in targeting foreign microbes. NOW Oregano Oil contains a minimum of 55% carvacrol, the most widely researched active ingredients in oregano. Our Oregano Oil is derived from origanum vulgare, which is grown in the Mediterranean. It contains a minimum of 55% carvacrol, one of the active components naturally occurring in Oregano. Our product is all natural and not genetically modified in any way. NOW Oregano Oil is a highly concentrated all-natural extract that should be diluted before use. We recommend diluting Oregano Oil in Olive Oil at a ratio of 1:4, 1 ounce of Oregano Oil in 4 oz of Olive Oil or another food grade oil. Because Oregano is highly concentrated it should never be used undiluted, unless in external applications. Even then, please exercise caution. Even though this is a natural product, its concentration is much higher than that found naturally.
