Question 1

Why is oregano essential oil so strong and how should it be dosed?

Accepted Answer

Oregano essential oil is extremely concentrated due to its high carvacrol and thymol content. In a diffuser, start with 1 drop per 100 ml water and do not exceed 2 drops. For skin use, keep dilution below 0.5% and always perform a patch test first.

Question 2

How should I use essential oil safely?

Accepted Answer

Never apply essential oil undiluted to skin. Always dilute to at least 2% in a vegetable carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba) — approximately 4-6 drops per 10 ml carrier oil. For sensitive skin, perform a patch test first.

Question 3

What essential oils can be blended with oregano oil?

Accepted Answer

Oregano essential oil pairs best with other Mediterranean and spicy oils such as thyme, rosemary, basil and citrus oils. Always use it in small proportions as its intense aroma can easily overpower a blend.

Question 4

Which diffuser is it compatible with?

Accepted Answer

Compatible with both ultrasonic (humidifying) diffusers and traditional oil burners (aroma lamps). Add 3-6 drops to the diffuser water reservoir, or 3-5 drops to the oil burner bowl with a little water.

Question 5

Can oregano essential oil be stored in plastic containers?

Accepted Answer

This is not recommended. The high phenol content (carvacrol) in oregano essential oil can degrade certain types of plastic. Always store it in glass containers, tightly sealed, in a cool and dark place.

Question 6

How long does an opened bottle last?

Accepted Answer

Once opened, stored in a cool dark place, it generally maintains its quality for 1-2 years. Citrus oils may lose their fragrance sooner (6-12 months), while resinous and woody oils can last even longer.
