OREGANO
Origanum compactum
Oregano (Origanum compactum), sometimes referred to as “wild marjoram”, is a perennial herbaceous plant growing to a height of thirty to sixty centimetres. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family, along with marjoram (Origanum marjorana), though it is not native to Asia like this latter.

Even dilute, it should only be applied to small skin surfaces. It should not be diffused into ambient air, except at very low concentrations (less than 5%) and in combination with other essential oils.
