Important Notes

People who are sensitive to herbs in the mint family (Lamiaceae) should use oregano with caution. Concentrated oregano oil products can be very strong; the dried herb and capsules are milder but should still be used with awareness. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, check with your practitioner before use.
