essential oil is analyzed using Mass Spectography and Gas Chromatography.
This rigorous testing assures that only the correct species
of edible Oregano with high Carvacrol content is used .
Only Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is used as a base in order to provide you with the finest edible product, free from additives of any kind. As a result you get an effective, pure and natural “medicine chest” in a convenient dropper bottle.
Enhance your health by using this age - old remedy which modern science is only now beginning to discover.
Why WILD Oregano?
Not all oregano varieties are equal.
The medicinal effectiveness of the Wild Mediterranean Oregano
is unparalleled. This particular species (origanum vulgare)
has a unique balance of compounds, which act together synergistically.
Gathered wild, Mediterranean oregano is free of the chemical
fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.
What makes WILD Oregano special?
Conventional crops of Oregano can be contaminated with chemical
fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, which would
render the oil toxic and unsafe for human use. Organically grown
Oregano even though free from chemical pollutants may lack the
full range of compounds which make this herb so uniquely potent.
The Greeks and Italians who settled in North America, will be
the first to tell you that despite their best efforts, even
the most carefully cultivated Oregano plant falls short of what
they know the Authentic Oregano to be.
It takes an exact amount of sun, quality of water and air, right
humidity and an important balance of naturally occurring soil
minerals … in other words a precise combination of many
natural elements that are necessary to create the optimum environmental
conditions found only in the region of the Mediterranean.
Wild, crude, Mountain Oregano is the only kind that is naturally
rich in carvacrol, flavonoids, terpenes, esters and many other
chemical compounds which combine to give this herb its tremendous
strength. The Oregano plant has been commonly known and utilized
for many centuries in Mediterranean countries such as Greece,
Portugal, and Turkey. Highly esteemed for its powerful health-promoting
properties and beautiful aroma, Oregano has been named by the
local folk “the joy of the mountains”, which expresses
their obvious sentiment for this extraordinary herb.
The Incredible Herb
Wild Oregano has been helping people in the
Mediterranean maintain good health for centuries. Books and
records by prominent herbalists, preserved throughout the ages,
contain numerous references to the curative powers of Oregano
and point to its many uses. As is the case with many traditional
folk remedies, modern science has been late researching this
incredible herb and spice. Recent laboratory studies confirmed
the powerful antibiotic, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties
of Wild Oregano. A long list of ailments that have been effectively
treated with the Oregano Oil includes:
acne, allergies, arthritis, asthma, athlete’s
foot, candida, constipation, croup, dandruff, diarrhea, digestive
disturbances, insect bites, bronchitis, canker sores, colds,
flu, earaches, fatigue, gum disease, headaches, menstrual irregularities,
muscle pain, parasites, pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, psoriasis,
toenail problems, seborrhea, ringworm, rosacea, sinusitis, varicose
veins and warts.
Oil of Oregano is also a powerful painkiller. An article published
in Phytotherapy Research describes how oregano oil superceded
anti-inflammatory drugs in reversing pain and inflammation and
is nearly as powerful as morphine.

Cass Ingram, D.O.
Is Oil of Oregano safe for children?
For infants and children up to the age of seven, only external
use is recommended. Dilute one drop in a teaspoon or less of
vegetable oil and massage into the soles of the feet. The oil
may also be inhaled straight from the bottle or by placing a
drop on a tissue or cloth. For older children the oil may be
taken internally. It is advised to use only one drop and dilute
it with olive oil, juice or a teaspoon of honey to reduce the
heat sensation which may be too strong for a child. Preventative
measures against disease are very effective in keeping your
children healthy. Germs spread from the hands to the mouth are
notorious for causing infections. Dirty fingernails harbor all
kinds of nasty pathogens. Keep your child's fingernails short
and frequently wash their hands and nails with a drop or two
of Oil of Oregano and soap. Liquid soap mixes easily with the
Oregano oil.
Can I take too much Oil of Oregano?
Yes! Essential oils are composed of highly concentrated naturally
occurring chemicals. Even herbs and natural forms of many plants
are only beneficial in small quantities. This is true of Oil
of Oregano. Please do not exceed recommended dosages except
in cases of life threatening infection. The adage "less
is more" is at work here. The liver must process Oregano
oil and will become overloaded if too much is taken. People
using excessive amounts of alcohol regularly or taking 3 or
more prescription drugs should avoid using Oil of Oregano.
Can Oil of Oregano be used to help prevent infections?
Yes. Use Oil of Oregano with soap to wash hands or skin after
exposure to public washrooms or close contact with other people
in crowded environments such classrooms, airplanes, buses etc.
You may also inhale the oil, or rub it onto the gums. Avoid
mucous membranes and other sensitive skin areas. Oil of Oregano
can be added to water in a mister and sprayed around the house
to kill bacteria, mold and viruses in the air. Use a drop or
two on a sponge or wet cloth for cleaning kitchen counters,
sinks, stoves; and refrigerators in order to kill microbes.
Are there other uses for Oil of Oregano?
Yes! You may add a drop or two to vegetable oils and other foods
to extend their shelf life. Oregano oil contains phenols and
other compounds which are powerful antioxidants. You may add
to water and use as a spray to prevent or eliminate mold, mildew,
fungus and airborne bacteria. Use a few drops on a wet cloth
for cleaning and sanitizing kitchen counters and bathroom surfaces.
Use for daily hygiene by adding small amounts of Oregano oil
to liquid soaps for washing hands, feet and body. Carry when
camping, trekking or traveling for adding to water or food and
for treating cuts, scrapes, bites etc. One of our customers
successfully used our Oil of Oregano to rid her houseplants
of pesty bugs.
What are the benefits of using Wild-Crafted Oregano?
Most of the essential oils sold today are geared towards the
flavor and fragrance industry. Since huge volumes of the oil
are in high demand most of the plant material is conventionally
farmed using chemical fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides
and fungicides, all of which are toxic to humans, animals and
the environment. Until recently many aromatherapists, suppliers
and manufacturers of essential oils were not convinced that
organic and wild crafted plant yielded a superior oil. That
line of thought was proven inaccurate by testing done in Europe
over two years ago. It was discovered through laboratory testing
that essential oils derived from most conventionally farmed
plants contained as much as fifty times the allowable safe limit
of agri-chemicals. Due to the rapid assimilation of essential
oils into the human bloodstream, the hazards of using such chemically
laden oils is readily apparent. For essential oils to be safe
they must be produced from chemical free, organically grown
or wild plant sources. In our experience, wild crafted plants
generally yield the most beautiful and beneficial oils. In the
case of Oregano, mineral rich soil, pure air and sunny conditions
in the Mediterranean combine to create optimum environment for
the high carvacrol oregano. The resulting oil is of the highest
therapeutic quality and effectiveness.
