Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 All of the Origanums except the Origanum dubium Linalool Type are carvacrol-rich and carvacrol is the active therapeutic component people seek. The higher carvacrol aromatic plants are more expensive to purchase. We have some plants that will produce oils with carvacrol levels over 80%. This simply means you get more bang for the buck when mixing it with olive oil or whatever. You must dilute it more. Origanum vulgare is the best seller. Possibly people associate the name and the fact that there is one company making some fairly sound health claims and selling it as " Oil of Oregano " in a 10% oregano/90% olive oil mixture for as much as $29.95 per 2/3 ounce bottle. So people see mine as being less costly. With mine, one can mix their own and create a dozen bottles of the $29.95 product for less than half the price. Origanum onites has been the next best seller and that might be due to some things I've written on it and a portion of the lecture I gave at the AT Conference in Toronto, Canada in September 1999. I presented research conducted by five prominent professors in Turkey using Origanum onites in a project involving lung tumors in rats, using three different groups and three treatments, one of them being normal cancer treatments. I presented the study and showed the audience colored micro slides of the lung tissues. The Origanum onites not only stopped the growth but also caused recession of the growths! The lung tissue was reverting to it's previously normal pink and clear state!! I made it clear that this is not an indication that it will cure cancer in humans but it shows a great need for further research and such research is ongoing. Origanum dubium is the next best seller, possibly because it appears to have a lighter odor than the others. Turks generally prefer it for home medication. Origanum dubium (Linalool type) is in its own class .. a very nice odor and dual therapeutic value. It's high in linalool, as is lavender, and high in carvacrol, as is oregano. It has healing properties of oregano and lavender .. so much so that the common name in Turkey is Lavanta Kekik (Lavender Oregano.) It's endemic to Turkey - not found elsewhere and even here it's only found in a very small corner of the Southeast. When people get samples of it from us, they buy it. I normally use it for inhalation and it would be great for diffusion - I love the odor. Internally, I use Origanum vulgare, Origanum onites and Origanum dubium. I do not make recommendations to others on ingestion of essential oils. I recommend buyers consult their doctor prior to this manner of usage. So - one can choose based on the above descriptions of each oil. For colds and flu, I use the onites, vulgare or dubium. For diffusion any one will do the job but just for inhalation, I'd go with the O. dubium (linalool type) because I love the odor. All have proven antiseptic, antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-spasmodic properties and they are believed to be capable of stimulating the immune system.
