The herculean do-all herb known as "delight of the mountain" is distilled into Oregano Essential Oil from the foliage and flowering tops of the herb. The flavour and fragrance of oregano are well known in culinary creations, yet oregano is more than a tantalizing aroma it is a mighty plant friend. Just as fresh Oregano stimulates the appetite, Oregano Essential Oil stimulates skin, soul, and mind.
