PRODUCT BACKGROUND
The word
oregano
originates from the Greek words
oros
and
ganos, meaning “joy of the mountains.” The herb is believed to have been found in the mountainsides of Greece, Italy, and the Mediterranean. The oregano plant, which is now known around the world, can grow up to 30 inches tall and produces purple flowers. The leaves are steam distilled to create the powerful Oregano essential oil, which is a key ingredient in Ortho Sport and ImmuPower and an important component in the Raindrop Technique.
