Umuthi Oregano Pure Essential Oil is a 100% pure oregano essential oil distilled from the leaves and flowers of Origanum vulgare . It has a strong, herbaceous aroma and is a highly concentrated oil suited to aromatherapy-style blending, household cleaning blends, and cosmetic formulation in very small, well-diluted amounts.

♡ Why we love it: This is one of those bold, unmistakable essential oils that brings real depth to a blend. We especially like it for strong herbal profiles, purposeful cleaning blends, and for experienced essential oil users who want a little oil to go a very long way.

The best

I always have Umathi oregano oil in my home and use it every morning when I wake up. 2 to 3 drops with olive oil. Love this brand.

Hard to find

Oregano oil seems to be so hard to find, but Umuthi had it! We heard it is a strong anti-fungal, and we have been treating athletes' foot and a very bad case of nail fungus with it and seeing amazing results.
