A powerful, broad-spectrum antibacterial, this certified organic essential oil of Oregano is also antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic.

It is highly effective in treating acute or chronic infectious conditions (respiratory, intestinal, skin or urinary tract infections).

The chemotype of compact oregano is very rich in carvacol, which gives it great potency of action and means it should be used prudently and wisely over a short period of time.

Compact oregano is a small plant up to 80 cm high, native to North Africa.

It's called "compact" because the flowers are grouped in compact inflorescences, and are also fragrant and purple-pink in color.

A very powerful essential oil is extracted from the plant, which is reputed to be even more potent than marjoram as an anti-infective.

Main constituents of essential oil

• Monoterpene phenols (60-70%) mainly carvacrol, thymol
• Methyl ether phenols: carvacrol methyl ether
• Monoterpene alcohols (10%): linalool, terpinene 1-ol-4, alpha-terpineol
