Oregano Essential Oil

oregano-essential-oil-1.jpg" alt="Young Living Oregano Oil" width="640" height="340" />Oregano essential oil (Origanum vulgare)  – The herb shines in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine; but as an essential oil, it has a wealth of benefits and uses outside the kitchen. Oregano essential oil’s warm, herbaceous scent is excellent at purifying the air when diffused with oils such as Peppermint. It also pairs especially well when combined with V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex and used in massage.

The word oregano originates from the Greek words oros and ganos, meaning “joy of the mountains.” The herb is believed to have been found in the mountainsides of Greece, Italy, and the Mediterranean. The oregano plant, which is now known around the world, can grow up to 30 inches tall and produces purple flowers.
