    Organic Oregano Compactum essential oil

    Oregano grows generously throughout the Mediterranean basin. Known since ancient times and traditionally used as a condiment, its intense, pungent and spicy fragrance is reminiscent of thyme.

Use in moderation. Precautions for use Food supplement. Not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
