QUALITIES: Caution: this oil must be well diluted,(less than 0.5% i.e 1 drop in 10ml of carrier) it is not to be confused with many 'oregano' oils currently being sold, these are invariably greatly diluted. Must be well diluted as it is a strong skin irritant. Traditionally grown as a medicinal herb for centuries.

A member of the Laiaceae family, a hardy, bushy perennial up to ninety centimetres high, woody stem and dark green oval leaves and clusters of whitish/purple flowers. Native to Europe cultivated world wide, but mainly in Eastern Europe.

It is not logical to say an Oregano is better if the Carvacol content is higher than 70%. Carvacol is usually between 60 and 80% , is strong enough and must be highly diluted due to it's irritating effect on skin. In fact, when I put it undiluted on my skin it burned the skin off. Thymol should be under <5%

In fact, an Oregano with Carvacol higher than 80% most likely has the Thymol hiding in the left side of the Carvacol peak. In other words just bad analysis.
