Description

 

Oregano is one of the most potent and powerful essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional health practices for its skin-cleansing properties. The primary chemical components of Oregano are carvacrol and thymol, both in the phenols group, which possess cleansing properties. Due to its high phenol content, caution should be taken when inhaling or diffusing Oregano; only one to two drops is needed. Additionally, Oregano should be diluted with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil when applied to the skin. Oregano blends well with Bergamot, Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Clove, Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Ginger, Lavender, Lemon, Rosemary, and Thyme.

 

Uses

• Dilute Oregano essential oil with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil and apply to the skin or to distressed toenails.
• Add one drop of Oregano to 10 drops of doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil as part of a soothing massage.
• Diffuse 2-3 drops in the diffuser of your choice to help purify the air.
• Put 10 drops in a 480 ml. spray bottle with water for a surface cleaner.
