Botanical Name: Origanum marjorana Botanical Family: Lamiaceae (Labiatae)
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Flowering Herbs
· Aroma Note: Middle
Sweet Marjoram is a tender perennial herb native to the Mediterranean. It was known to the Greeks and Romans as the "Joy of the Mountains" and was used to crown newlyweds to symbolize happiness. The essential oil is clear to pale yellow with a warm, woody, and spicy-camphorous aroma. It is a profoundly warming and relaxing oil, often described as a "natural sedative." It is a staple in any aromatherapy kit for physical pain and emotional grief.
Analgesic, Anti-aphrodisiac, Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Antiviral, Bactericidal, Carminative, Digestive, Diuretic, Emmenagogue, Expectorant, Hypotensive, Laxative, Sedative, Tonic, Vulnerary.
· Skin: Not a primary skincare oil, but it can help clear up bruises and is useful in low concentrations for balancing oily skin.
· Respiratory: Asthma, bronchitis, and "tickly" coughs. It is an excellent expectorant and helps to relax the chest muscles when breathing is restricted.
· Digestive: Abdominal cramps, constipation, flatulence, and indigestion. It is a powerful antispasmodic for the gut.
· Circulatory/Muscular: High blood pressure (hypertension), arthritis, lumbago, and general muscular aches. It is one of the best oils for "warming" a stiff muscle and encouraging blood flow to a painful area.
· Genito-Urinary: Painful periods (dysmenorrhea) and PMT.
· Nervous System: Insomnia, headaches, migraines, and nervous tension. It is deeply calming to the parasympathetic nervous system.
Marjoram is the "Oil of Connection." It is specifically indicated for those who feel lonely, isolated, or emotionally guarded. It helps to soften the heart and encourages the ability to form meaningful relationships. It is also a premier oil for the early stages of grief, providing a warm, "cocoon-like" comfort to the shattered spirit.
1. Deep Tissue Muscle Rub: Mix 3 drops of Marjoram and 2 drops of Rosemary in 10ml of carrier oil. Massage into stiff shoulders or a sore lower back to ease tension and "warm" the tissue.
2. Blood Pressure Support Bath: Mix 4 drops with a carrier oil and add to a lukewarm bath. The calming effect on the nervous system can help lower stress-induced high blood pressure.
3. Night-time Insomnia Aid: Place 2 drops on a tissue tucked inside your pillowcase. It is more "grounding" and earthy than Lavender, making it perfect for those who find floral scents too distracting for sleep.
The "Knot-Free" Blend Massage into areas of chronic tension (like the neck or jaw)
· 4 drops Sweet Marjoram
· 3 drops Lavender
· 3 drops Black Pepper
Bergamot, Cedarwood, Chamomile, Cypress, Elemi, Eucalyptus, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Orange, Petitgrain, Rosemary, Tea Tree, and Thyme.
Avoid during pregnancy. Because it is a powerful sedative, it should not be used if you need to drive or perform tasks requiring high alertness. Historically, it was used as an anti-aphrodisiac to "dull" the senses; as such, excessive use over long periods is not recommended.
Available sizes: 13ml
