Now I'd be interested in learning how to home-make organic oil of oregano. I wonder if a person can use olive oil as a solvent to extract the properties from the leaf. It looks like it's important to dilute that concentrate. Hmm, I just remembered these brass or copper things that are for distilling essential oils. It was a long time ago that I researched them. Even the name of them is slipping my mind now. I'd like to look those up again soon. Thanks for the info. I've heard things about oil of oregano before, that it was some pretty good stuff but I hadn't looked into it. It's very interesting and good to know. Okay, it is called Alembic.
