Lois Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Oregano has benefits beyond it’s culinary uses Oregano - Greek (Origanum heracleoticum) Plant Type: Perennial When to Sow Outside: In spring, 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost. Plant as late as 2 months before first fall frost. When to Sow Inside: 6 to 8 weeks before last frost. Recommended. Seed Depth: Press into surface of soil Seed Spacing: four per inch Row Spacing: 2' Days to Emerge: 5-10 Thinning: When plants emerge, thin to 1" apart. When 2" tall, thin to 8" to 10" apart Oregano...or is it Marjoram? Let's start out with the fact that all marjorams are oreganos, since the genus name for both is origanum, but not all oreganos are marjorams. http://www.sallys-place.com/food/columns/gilbert/oregano.htm One ounce - 100% pure Oregano Essential Oil: $24.00 Grade A – Therapeutic quality from a Mediterranean source. Tested December 2001 to have 63% Carvacrol – the active component in Origanum vulgare. Oregano Essential Oil has been found to be highly damaging to many kinds of viruses according to studies done at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. When comparing Oregano Essential Oils, it is the Carvacrol content that determines the quality and strength of Oregano Essential Oil, not the species. Color should be amber. It should not be artificially organically grown, but should be native to its Mediterranean habitat. One ounce: $24.00 CAUTION: THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS ESSENTIAL OIL STATES IN THE PRODUCT ANALYSIS THAT IT IS NOT TO BE USED INTERNALLY AT FULL STRENGTH. KEEP IT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN! One of the suggested ways to use this product according to many herbalists: Dilute one drop of Oregano Essential Oil in three drops of extra virgin olive oil.
