Marjoram – Origanum marjorana
Introducing our Marjoram Essential Oil, a natural and versatile oil that is perfect for promoting relaxation and reducing muscle tension.
This oil has multiple purposes, but Marjoram Essential Oil is best known as an excellent oil for the mind. In fact, it deals with more problems of mental origin than most other oils. This oil can also provide strength when confronting difficult decisions and allow individuals some time to work through their thoughts.
Marjoram Essential Oil is said to give warmth and comfort to those whose grief has left them with overwhelming loneliness and sorrow. It was a very popular and common medical herb amongst the ancient Greeks and was used as a digestive herb. The 17th century herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, recommended Sweet Marjoram as a natural treatment for menstrual cramps. Today, aromatherapists still use this herb because of its effective anti-spasmodic and relaxing properties.
Useful oil to soothe pain from muscle aches or stiffness—even sprains and spasms. Those struggling with joint pains may find some relief thanks to Marjoram’s abilities at expanding the veins while also being soothing on sore muscles after exercise.
This essential oil is perfect for use in aromatherapy and massage therapy. Its natural formula helps to promote relaxation and reduce stress, leaving you feeling calm and centred. It is also great for reducing muscle tension and promoting a sense of well-being. Marjoram Essential Oil has been used in our Tension Relief Blend of essential oils.
