Wild Mediterranean Oregano Oil Fights Germs

It is extracted by a method of distillation resulting in a pale amber colored oil with a hot tasting flavor and the pungent odor similar to the garden variety of oregano. Wild Mediterranean Oregano Oil can be purchased at health product stores and Internet health and vitamin sites.
