North Am. Herb and Spice Super Strength Oreganol P73, 0.45 Ounce
North American Herb & Spice was the first company to introduce edible oil of oregano to the North Americanmarket.  To be edible, this essential oil must be made only from wild, mountain-grown Mediterranean oregano, free of all chemicals and pesticides.  The only oregano used is the real, 100%-wild Mediterranean oregano, guaranteed to be handpicked in pristine and untarnished remote mountains.  The oil is produced by old-fashioned steam distillation, using deep spring water also known for its high mineral content.  No chemicals or solvents are used in the extraction process.Beware of cheaper grades of oregano oil; the name oregano describes over 60 different types of plants, often having no other similarities with true oregano except taste (like Thymus Capitus from Spain or Mexican Sage).  It is the chemical profile that is critical.  Oreganol has the ideal profile, which is P73.Oreganol P73 is a specific blend of several high-grade medicinal wild oreganos.  P73 oregano has a high percentage of calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which are absorbed from the mineral-rich soil it grows in. Polyphenol content is a reliable indicator of high-quality oregano oil, carvacrol being the most publicized.  But carvacrolis not the only indicator of high-quality oregano, since the plant produces over 50 known-to-date substances which may work synergistically.A low thymol content plays an enormous role in high-quality oregano oil and is often ignored.  Often high carvacrol levels are accompanied by higher thymol levels.  To provide our customers with the highest quality oregano oil available, NAHS has blended several species of oregano, creating a delicate, synergistic balance of over 50 phytochemicals.  While most, if not all, of competitors will distract potential customers with claims of "High Carvacrol,"  NAHS meticulously takes into account thymol content, as well as other factors, to ensure our customers receive the purest, highest quality oregano oil available.
