Oil of Oregano Leaf comes from the Oregano herb, also known as Origanum Vulgare, a herb from the mint family. The word oregano is a derivation from the Greek words ?Oros? meaning mounting, and ?Ganos? meaning joy. So the name actually means ?mountain of joy.?

The health benefits of this amazing herb were recognized as far back as ancient Greece. According to Greek mythology oregano was created by the goddess Aphrodite as a symbol of happiness. It is also believed that it was used frequently by Hippocrates for its healthy attributes.

After the Romans conquered Greece, they inherited the use of oregano and they were the ones responsible for the extensive use of oregano all over Europe and abroad. Over time, the use of oregano spread to the Middle East and to China. In China, oregano was used exclusively for health purposes. Oregano became more popular in the United States after World War II.

Licorice is an herbaceous perennial plant that is native to several areas of the world, including southern Russia, the Mediterranean, parts of Asia and southern areas of Europe. The part of the licorice plant that is utilized as a flavoring agent and as a traditional remedy is the Licorice Root. Licorice contains specific chemical constituents that give it the sweet distinctive flavor, recognized by those who enjoy Licorice Candy. Licorice is also used to flavor tobacco products, beverages and foods.

It?s interesting to note, that most American Licorice candy does not actually contain any licorice at all, but instead uses other flavoring agents, such as star anise extract, or artificial licorice flavoring.

Licorice is often used in combination with other herbs, such as Panax Ginseng, Eleuthero Root, and Buplerum, to help support the body in dealing with stress,* and to support healthy digestive and immune system function.*
