How to Use Oregano Oil Safely
Oregano oil is highly concentrated, so caution is key:
✅ Do:
Dilute it: 1–2 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil
Use in short cycles (1–2 weeks at a time)
Store in dark, cool places away from direct sunlight
❌ Don’t:
Apply it directly to your skin without dilution
Use it internally unless guided by a certified herbalist or doctor
Use during pregnancy or nursing without professional advice
Rely on it daily long-term—it’s best in small, intentional doses
Choosing a High-Quality Oregano Oil
Your wellness deserves the best! Look for:
Origanum vulgare (not a blend or synthetic variant)
High levels of carvacrol (minimum 60–70%)
Organic and wild-harvested when possible
Third-party tested for purity and safety
