		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;An excellent oregano oil&lt;/strong&gt; My reviews are typically long and informative. Not everyone likes reading a lot of info, so there is an IN BRIEF section at the top. Please read only that if you&#039;re in a hurry or don&#039;t wish to have lots of info on oregano oil. Read the FULL REVIEW section if you&#039;re like me, and enjoy being informed about the products you use.&lt;&lt; IN BRIEF &gt;&gt;Oregano oil has many proven health benefits, particular with regards to being anti-pathogenic and immunity supporting. Great for dental/gum health. Excellent on warts (in many cases). Great antiseptic. Excellent for sore throats. The list goes on...This brand of oil is one I like and have purchased numerous times. It is high strength, unadulterated, certified organic, and award-winning.I am sure you won&#039;t be disappointed, if you are looking for a high-quality food-grade oregano oil. The best wild oregano is reported to only grow in the highlands of Greece and Turkey. This one comes from the highlands of Turkey.The only other brand I recommend just as much is this one: It&#039;s a little more expensive, and I discus it in the review below. Take your pick.You&#039;re welcome to read my full review for more details.&lt;&lt; FULL REVIEW AND HELPFUL INFORMATION &gt;&gt;I have purchased a number of bottles of this oil over the years. I have read over the literature about this oil along with information from third-party sources. From this research I can share the following (which is why I choose this oil over some of the other brands).&gt;&gt; POTENCY AND CARVACROL &lt;&lt;Carvacrol is the predominant phenol in oregano oil, and the level of carvacrol in oregano oil is an indicator of its overall potency. This oil is stated to be 75-85% carvacrol. That&#039;s about as high as a natural oregano oil can get, so this suggests there is a minimal amount of olive oil mixed in with it. It is safer for oregano oil to be mixed with olive oil, and some experts say it may actually make the oil more effective. So there is no reason to think the oil has been unduly diluted. Pure essential oil of oregano is caustic and hard to handle. The olive oil is a good thing!Natural oils can not claim a specific fixed carvacrol level, because every batch will vary slightly. If a fixed carvacrol level is claimed it is quite likely the oil has been standardised. This is especially true if the level is a round number like 80% as opposed to 81.27%. Standardising an essential oil requires adulterating it in some way, so it&#039;s not a beneficial practice and such products are better avoided in favour of those that are not altered. 75-85% is a very high carvacrol level, so taking care with this oil is recommended. Only a very small amount is needed.This oil is laboratory tested to certify its potency. The plant material used in its production is Wild Mediterranean Oregano harvested at high altitudes. Wild oregano from high altitudes makes it more potent. It is also certified organic (free of pesticides, solvents, etc.), which is a good thing.This oil has received at least 10 awards (by my count, but perhaps more) since 2006.** An important side note **Joy of the Mountain recently changed their product formulation to include Vitamin A. The new product is called A+ Oil of Oregano. As of today (25/03/2013) the product image and description of this product on Amazon is for the old version, without the Vitamin A. I am referring to product with ASIN: B008RBPYXM. I will notify Amazon now, so that may change in a few days.There is no longer any mention of the carvacrol levels. I have phoned the company and they confirmed on the phone and in writing that the concentration of the oregano has not changed. According to them it is still certified to be between 75% to 85%. The oil selling as of 25/03/2013 is 83%. The species they use (if you&#039;re interested) is origanum minutiflorum. The thymol level is .04%, which is a good thing, because thymol is relatively toxic, so you want it to be no more than 4%. So 0.04% is very low.Apparently labelling laws in Canada required them to change the label, which included removing the statement about carvacrol levels due to this implying oregano oil at a particular concentration might have medicinal properties. In my opinion, drug companies and the Government organisations they sponsor don&#039;t want natural products claiming to be medicinal.** side note finished **&gt;&gt; BENEFITS OF OREGANO OIL &lt;&lt;Oregano oil is known to be an excellent immune booster, with its own antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties. A search on PubMed shows that many studies have been done on the the positive effects of oregano. Even bacteria which are antibiotic resistant (such as antibiotic resistant Salmonella enterica)...]]></description>
