Origanum Minutiflorum

Origanum minutiflorum (ECOCERT Certified Organic)

Origanum minutiflorum is a rare herb, endemic to the high-altitude region of the Western Taurus Mountains, where its limited growth stretches in a narrow band between the Isparta and Antalya provinces. The Taurus Mountains reach well over 3700 meters (over 12,000ft) and are rich in naturally occurring mineral deposits, such as chromium, silver, copper, iron, ignite and zinc.

This high-altitude region is also abundant in limestone, waterfalls, and underground rivers, which contribute to the pristine growing conditions that produce this rare, highly sought after Origanum.

Sustainable Harvesting

Once permission is granted by the local Forestry Department, endemic minutiflorum is carefully harvested to preserve the integrity of the plant.

EXPERTLY DISTILLED FOR MAXIMUM SYNERGY

TEMPERATURE MATTERS

Our non-standardized oil is expertly distilled to achieve maximum synergistic activity between the naturally occurring chemical constituents within the oil.

Standardizing by means of high-heat distillation is common in the industry and is oftentimes done to increase levels of specific constituents, primarily carvacrol.

ReThink's Origanum minutiflorum is naturally high in carvacrol, so there is no need to standardize. Our oil is a true gift from Mother Earth.

IMPROVING DIGESTION WITH WILD OREGANO OIL

KEY POINTS:

Substantial improvements were shown in the digestive capabilities and overall gut health of chickens fed Origanum minutiflorum.
The digestive enzyme activities, in both the pancreas and small intestine, significantly increased in chickens fed Origanum minutiflorum.
It was shown that Origanum minutiflorum essential oil may provide a progressive effect on the "quality of the intestines, secretion of digestive enzymes, and particularly the antioxidant defense potential against parasitic infections."
Higher, longer and wider villi, as well as decreased crypt depth were observed in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum areas of the intestines, "providing a greater surface area for nutrient digestion and absorption."
These improvements contributed to "increased mucosal enzymes, absorption, and the efficiency of the nutrient transport system."
Origanum minutiflorum helped to establish "microbial balance throughout the intestines, enhanced nutrient utilization and gut passage rates (motility), as well as encouraged endogenous digestive enzymatic activity", resulting in an overall "increased intestinal absorptive surface area."1)
