As a customer, it is your right to know what you are buying.
At Hedd Wyn Essentials we are firmly committed to providing the best of what Nature has to offer in its original composition, as nature designed it. In our products, you will find essential oils, herbs and foods which are wildcrafted or grown using organic methods of cultivation, free of chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.
Our wildcrafted Oil of Oregano is made from wild Mediterranean Oregano, picked by hand and naturally steam distilled. No additives are used in the process and nothing is taken away. Our cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is Certified Organic. This costs us more but makes a much safer and better tasting product for you, the customer.
Sometimes we are asked if our Oil of Oregano is standardized. We can proudly say "No, it is not and never will be." Why? Because standardization involves alteration or adulteration and in the case of Oregano essential oil this does not benefit the consumer. Let us explain.
A lot of research has been done on Oregano and its chief chemical constituent, a phenol called Carvacrol. Carvacrol is a powerful antiseptic. Oregano oil contains 3 other main classes of chemicals which act synergistically to provide the antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-venom and antiparasitic qualities of Oregano oil.
As powerful as Carvacrol is, it is not the whole story. This has been proven in lab testing. Pure Carvacrol is only half as effective as pure Oregano oil in inhibiting fungal and bacterial growth.
In order to standardize Oregano oil, something has to be added or taken away. Carvacrol has been chosen as the ingredient to standardize. Carvacrol levels are increased by adding Carvacrol to the water during distillation or afterwards to the oil or by fractionating the essential oil after distillation by "boiling off" other natural components of the oil to make the Carvacrol percentage higher in relation to what is left. In both cases the natural synergy of active constituents in the oil is put out of balance without any thought of the effect that will have on the healing properties of the end product. In fractionation, whole parts of the Oregano plant's makeup are removed in ignorance of their function!
At Hedd Wyn Essentials , we would rather trust Mother Nature than men in laboratories. Please review the Gas Chromatography testing report on our Oregano oil. You will see that you are receiving a superior product with high natural Carvacrol levels.
Please take the time to taste our Oregano oil and compare it to other Oregano oils you have tried. Trusting your own finely tuned sense of taste and smell will tell the story quickly and eloquently.
