If the mixture is too strong for you, start with 2 drops of Oregano Oil and gradually step up to 4 drops. A heat sensation is normal. 

For external use: For skin application, you must dilute the oil in a carrier oil like jojoba oil, or olive oil, at ratio of 10% to 30%.

F.A.Q.

Why is this oil blended?

Most oils on the market are blended mixtures. If you want to take the same percentage of carvacrol as you’ve been already taking from another oil you should opt for the appropriate Zane Hellas blend that meets your needs.
