Oregano Essential Oil

Oregano is commonly known as wild marjoram. Oregano is grown as an essential crop in several countries in south eastern Europe and in the Mediterranean region such as Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, and Turkey . Oregano oil is derived from the leaves and flowers of oregano (Origanum vulgare), a hardy, bushy perennial herb, and a member of the mint (Lamiaceae) family. The resulting oil is golden to dark yellow, with a strong spicy odour.
