9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes Oregano oil so powerful?
A: The primary active compound is carvacrol, a natural phenol with extraordinary antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. High-quality Oregano oil with a carvacrol content of 70%+ is considered a high-carvacrol grade - among the most studied constituents in aromatherapy.

Q: Can I use Oregano oil to fight a cold or flu?
A: Its antiviral and immune-boosting properties make it a popular choice during cold and flu season. Using it aromatically in your sauna or diffuser can help purify the air, support the respiratory system, and provide a powerful immune boost. It is not a substitute for medical treatment.

Q: Is it true it can burn the skin?
A: Yes, absolutely. Undiluted Oregano oil is a severe skin irritant due to its high phenol content. It must always be diluted to a safe concentration (maximum 1%) in a carrier oil before any skin contact.

Q: Can I pour it directly on the hot sauna stones?
A: Never. Always dilute in at least 500 ml of warm water. Undiluted, it creates a powerful, potentially toxic vapor and is a fire hazard.

Q: What is the difference between culinary and essential oil Oregano?
A: Culinary Oregano is used in cooking. Oregano essential oil is a highly concentrated steam distillation with a carvacrol level far too high for internal consumption without specific medical-grade preparation. They are not interchangeable.
