Description
So-called Spanish oregano is actually a member of the large thyme family. It grows naturally in the Mediterranean region, mainly in Spain and Portugal. It is not surprising that it is aromatically “confused” with oregano. However, the plants look very different. Also called Andalusian thyme or tomillo carrasqueño, it grows in very sunny, arid places where temperatures can become very high. It is found growing among rocks on limestone cliffs or in garrigue scrubland.This essential oil is biochemically very similar to other oregano oils. It is used interchangeably for the same therapeutic purposes. Spanish oregano is rich in phenols (carvacrol and thymol), molecules that are among the most active against bacteria, fungi and parasites.
Appearance: Clear, dark brown liquid
Solubility: Soluble in alcohol and oil, insoluble in water.
Precautions
Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not use on children under 6 years of age. Do not use undiluted on the skin or mucous membranes; it is dermocaustic.
