Highland Essential Oils

Highland Essential Oils Higland Essential Oils produce a range of essential oils and culinary herb oils.

Highland Essential Oils was founded in 1992 by Flip and Riana Minnaar on their family farm Vlakbult in the district Clocolan for the production of 100% pure, organic and natural oils. The farm Vlakbult is situated in the Highlands area of the Eastern Free State, a province of South Africa. This agriculturally rich area, with stable rainfall allows for the sustainable farming of crops for the production of our wide range of essential oils, culinary herb oils and products derived from these raw materials. Highland Essential Oils is a family run business which guarantees personal customer care and direct interaction with our growing national and international customer base. Highland Essential Oils is invested in creating a sustainable future in partnership with nature and the local community through good farming practices, job creation and the development of an alternative to conventional tourism in the area through essential oil and other related workshops.

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a fragrant Mediterranean herb loved for its bold, peppery flavour and its long history in traditional wellness. Beyond the kitchen, oregano is naturally rich in aromatic compounds like carvacrol and thymol, which help explain why it’s often studied for antimicrobial support (including antifungal activity), anti-inflammatory effects, and strong antioxidant potential.

Oregano has also been explored for its role in digestive comfort, insect-repelling/insecticidal properties, and emerging areas like antiviral, neuroprotective, and blood-sugar (antidiabetic) support—though these benefits can depend on the form and dose, and it’s best viewed as a supportive herb rather than a standalone treatment.

Highland Essential Oils is currently harvesting and distilling our own farm-grown Yarrow, carefully transforming this remarkable plant into a potent essential oil. One of the most striking features of Yarrow oil is its vivid, deep blue colour — a natural result of azulene, a powerful compound formed during the distillation process.

Azulene is highly valued for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making Yarrow oil as beneficial as it is beautiful. Each batch reflects the care, craftsmanship, and respect for nature that goes into every step of our process — from field to final drop.
