Oregano has been considered one of the most effective and beneficial essential oils for centuries. It can be found in countless cookbooks and spice sets worldwide, as its rich flavor perfectly complements the cuisine of many nations. The essential oil is extracted from the fragrant leaves of the plant. The primary chemical component of oregano essential oil is a phenol derivative, carvacrol, and this makes it one of the world's most versatile and powerful essential oils. When applied to the skin, oregano essential oil should be diluted with a carrier oil.
