Our oregano plants grow wild in the Mediterranean region and are hand-picked at elevations as high as 10,000 feet, where carvacrol levels are typically higher. The soil in these areas is untouched and mineral-rich, providing added nutritional benefits to the consumer. Upon harvesting, the wild oregano is carefully dried and steam-distilled, using methods that ensure the oil retains its original chemistry with minimal alteration. The pure wild oregano oil is then mixed with cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, in a ratio of 1:3.

The wild oregano plants used in the production of our product grow in an organic environment. NO herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers or chemical procedures of any sort (irradiation/fumigation) are used on our wild oregano plants.

Furthermore, our oil is NOT "standardized". This means that the naturally-occurring phytochemistry within the oil has not been tampered with, and the important natural "synergy" between compounds remains. What we offer is a completely pure and natural product, just as Mother Nature intended. Our number one priority is ensuring that our customers receive the highest quality ingredients available.

Mediterranean oregano is a potent antioxidant. It has proven in many scientific studies to be far more effective at halting free radical production than most plants and fruits. It is also cytoplasmic (increases white blood cell activity), and a febrifuge (combats fever).

Many people are surprised to learn that Oil of Oregano is also an antitoxic and antivenom. It counteracts the effects of toxins and poisons - and neutralizes venom from insect and snake bites! Of course, in the event of a venomous bite, we recommend immediate medical attention. However, if Oil of Oregano is frequently applied and taken orally it will certainly help - and may keep you alive while getting to a hospital.
