Oregano oil is derived from the leaves of a unique species of the oregano herb called Origanum Vulgare. Origanum vulgare is not the common oregano that used as spice for cooking. This oregano species grows wild in the Mediterranean regions of Turkey and Greece, specifically in the pollution-free mountainous regions. The leaves are usually picked during the time when the plant contains the highest essential oil. Because wild oregano grows in a healthy and chemical-free environment, oregano oil extraction is a 100% natural process, without using solvents or chemicals. Naturally extracted oregano oil is 100% pure and virtually contains very active ingredients beneficial to health.
Oil of oregano is rich in active phenols called carvacrol and thymol, which according to clinical studies has powerful anti-microbial properties. These active ingredients also stimulate healthy immune functions, natural anti-inflammatory and pain response, and supports general respiratory health. Now Foods Oregano Oil standardized extract is concentrated with a minimum 55% carvacrol for optimised oregano oil benefits for overall health.
