Origanum essential oil is obtained from the steam distillation of the plant's leaves. It has a strong characteristic aroma and is often referred to as origanum oil.

Origanum essential oil has powerful antimicrobial properties due to its primary active ingredient, carvacrol, as well as other potent compounds with therapeutic properties, such as thymol (an organic compound), terpenes (hydrocarbons), rosmarinic acid, and naringin (a flavonoid).

Origanum essential oil is known for its many and diverse uses, due to its strong antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Some of its main uses include:
