marjoram

Sweet Marjoram (origanum marjorana) is an aromatic herb from which the marjoram essential oil is distilled. Native to Southern Europe and the Near East, it is also cultivated throughout Europe and North Africa.

Marjoram is one of the main essential oils that possesses an ability to both strengthen and relax. Its very distinct anti-spasmodic and analgesic qualities indicate it for muscular stiffness and pain, nervous spasms, neuralgia and intestinal colic. Smoothing the flow of energy in the chest, it can be used to calm and regulate the heart in cases of palpitations, tachycardia and hypertension.

In terms of its tonifying, strengthening influence, marjoram may be used for both chronic lethargy and nervous exhaustion - calming the nerves it is innately 'balancing.'

Relaxing, warming and comforting, Marjoram oil helps to calm obsessive thinking, ease emotional craving and promote the capacity for inner self-nurturing. Combined with oils of cypress and rose, it can also help in accepting deep loss.
