The precise botanical identity of most commercial “Oregano oils” is always uncertain. Most are, in fact, not Origanum vulgare at all but instead either Origanum marjorana (Sweet Marjoram) or “Spanish” Oregano (Thymus capitatus). Some oils are erroneously labeled “Oregano leaf oil” or Origanum vulgare but are actually Marjoram or Thyme rather than true Oregano. Others are a mixture of Marjoram and Thyme sometimes with, sometimes without Oregano. Much of this confusion is understandable since Oregano, Marjoram, and Thyme are alike members of the same botanical family. Oregano oil possesses extraordinarily potent and broad purifying and antiseptic properties. Like other curative culinary herbs, Oregano has excellent digestive attributes but its powerful essential oil must be used very cautiously or under the supervision of a knowledgeable health practitioner. If used topically, correct dilution and proper application are most important because Oregano is strongly rubefacient and may cause skin irritation.
