20 Mg Oregano Oil (Origanum vulgare) And 20 Mg Rosemary Extract (Rosmarinus officinalis) Per Softgel. Certified Potency Oregano-Power is a unique blend of oregano oil and rosemary extract. Research indicates it is the oil from oregano that provides its healthful benefits. Oregano-power is an easy to swallow softgel that contains oil of oregano without strong after taste or measuring required. Origanum vulgare, European pot, or wild, marjoram, is an Old World perennial aromatic herb of the mint family, cultivated for flavoring. What would a good pizza or spagetti sauce be without oregano? The generic names Marjorana and Origanum are frequently interchanged. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Marjoram yields about 2 per cent of a volatile oil which is separated by distillation.... Its properties are stimulant, carminative, diaphoretic and mildly tonic; a useful emmenagogue.' 'It is so acrid that it has been employed not only as a rubefacient, and often as a liniment, but has also been used as a caustic by farriers. A few drops, put on cotton-wool and placed in the hollow of an aching tooth frequently relieves the pain.' 'In the commencement of measles, it is useful in producing a gentle perspiration and bringing out the eruption, being given in the form of a warm infusion, which is also valuable in spasms, colic, and to give relief from pain in dyspeptic complaints.' 'Externally, the dried leaves and tops may be applied in bags as a hot fomentation to painful swellings and rheumatism, as well as for colic.' 'An infusion made from the fresh plant will relieve nervous headache, by virtue of the camphoraceous principle contained in the oil.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Origanum is gently stimulant, tonic, and emmenagogue. A warm infusion produces diaphoresis, and tends to promote menstruation, when recently suppressed from cold. It is sometimes employed externally in fomentation.' Rosemary’s traditional role in herbal medicine is confirmed by modern research. Eucalyptol (cineole) is a potent antibacterial that relaxes the lung's smooth muscles. Carnosol inhibits cancer formation. Rosmarinic acid is only one of Rosemary's many proven antioxidants. This, of course, explains its traditional role in meat and food preservation. 'Antioxidant' also helps to explain Rosemary's traditional use for headache and depression. Rosemary's memory enhancing properties have long been appreciated. The neurotransmitter acetylcholine, an important element of memory, seems to be protected from breakdown by Rosemary. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Rosemary leaffor 'Internal: Dyspeptic complaints. External: Supportive therapy for rheumatic diseases, circulatory problems.' 'Daily dosage: 4 - 6 g of herb; 10 - 20 drops of essential oil;* equivalent preparations. External: 50 g of herb for one full bath; 6 - 10 percent essential oil in semi-solid and liquid preparatio
