Oregano de La Sierra

Oregano de La Sierra (monarda fistulosa) is a hardy native herbaceous perennial found in western North America. Beloved by the people of Northern New Mexico as antiseptic remedy both internally and externally, and a wonderful herb for seasoning. Also known as bee balm or wild bergamot, it is a fantastic plant for pollinators and this soap contains leaves and flowers from my garden and the light citrus scent of bergamot essential oil.
