Not a lot except for the Linalool rich one .. the Carvacrol rich

Origanums are pretty much the same .. like ice cream, its a matter of

taste .. some folks prefer one over the other and would rather fight

than switch .. other folks wouldn't give a dime for the differences.

That it does .. but even though I like to sell products I'll tell you

that it would be less costly to do that with Oregano Hydrosol .. it will

do the trick. I take Oregano Hydrosol with me on most trips. I also

have a small bottle of Oregano EO with me but I don't use it to wipe

down things. If I put EO on a wooden surface its likely to change the

color of the surface .. takes varnish and such right off. Almost all EO

will do that .. some quicker than others.

 

Check below for info on the Origanums.

- - - - - - - - - - - FACTS ON THE ORIGANUMS - - - - - - - - - -

 

All of the Origanums except the Origanum dubium Linalool Type are

carvacrol-rich and carvacrol is the active therapeutic component

people seek. 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 use

less oil to get the same results.

 

Origanum vulgare is the best seller. Maybe 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 an 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, 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 its 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 Carvacrol 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

is great for diffusion - I love the odor.

 

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, anti-spasmodic

properties and they are believed to be capable of stimulating the

immune system.
