DETAILS

DOSAGE
Oregano essential oil is concentrated and potent; a couple of drops are usually enough for topical use and aromatherapy.
When using Oregano oil on your skin, make sure to dilute it with a carrier oil, such as almond, coconut, or avocado oil. Always do a patch test. Remedy's Nutrition® Oregano essential oil is in its pure and undiluted state. Start with small amounts: three drops in a teaspoon of carrier oil. If tolerated, you may increase the ratio until the desired effect is obtained.
- For skin issues, dilute one or two drops of Oregano oil in a carrier oil and apply this mixture directly to the skin.
- For respiratory conditions, place a couple of drops of Oregano oil in a steaming bowl of hot water, draped a towel over your head, lean over it and inhale for a few minutes the aromatic vapors.
- For joint and muscle aches, dilute Oregano oil with a carrier oil and apply this mixture in the affected area.
- To make your DIY cleaner, combine a couple of drops of Oregano oil with water in a spray bottle, and clean any surfaces that need it.
- For a calming and relaxing experience, add a few drops of Oregano oil to your favorite diffuser.
