Spasms
Marjoram’s sweet and spicy aroma adds flavor to foods. As an essential oil, it relaxes the body and mind and relieves pain and tension. This oil has the potential to reduce anxiety, nervous spasms, and inflammation while offering antiviral and immune-supportive benefits.
Marjoram has been popular in both food and medicine in the Mediterranean region since the ancient Greeks began giving it to newlyweds as a token of luck. Its herbaceous oil is distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of the plants.
Marjoram’s antispasmodic effects go to work on gas and reflux.
Marjoram produces a pale-yellow oil with a soft floral and slightly spicy scent.
A major multitasker, marjoram oil may help you:
• Relieve aches and pains. Marjoram’s analgesic properties make it an effective remedy for everything from headaches and sprains to painful chronic conditions such as arthritis. Just mix it with a carrier oil and massage it onto the affected area.
• Feel calm. Marjoram’s gentle sedative effects may help calm an overactive mind and reduce the stress it causes.
• Ease digestive troubles. This relaxing oil may support digestion while its antispasmodic effects go to work on gas and reflux.
Sleep Well
Combine marjoram with other sedative oils, such as Roman chamomile, geranium, and lavender, for a powerful sleep aid.
• Support circulation. Regulating and antianxiety properties support a healthy blood flow and may bring high blood pressure into balance.
• Breathe easy. As an immune modulator and antiviral oil, marjoram helps prevent lung congestion and respiratory illness.
Make the most of marjoram’s benefits by adding up to 20 drops of it to:
• Massage oils. A chest massage with marjoram may relieve cold symptoms, and an abdominal massage helps regulate digestion and ease menstrual cramps.
• Diffusers or inhalers. Inhale marjoram to help ease congestion and stress.
• Baths. Add marjoram and 1 tablespoon of carrier oil to a hot bath whenever your body needs soothing.
Inhale marjoram to help ease congestion and stress.
Natural Menstrual Relief
If you’re one of many women who suffer from discomfort, irritability, and fatigue during your period, you’ll find a friend in this oil. A marjoram massage on your lower abdomen may relieve pain from menstrual cramps while it eases anxiety.
Some blending combinations for marjoram oil include: bergamot, black pepper, cedarwood, chamomile, cypress, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, rosemary, and tea tree.
Marjoram is an oil with no known safety issues. Use it responsibly as you would any essential oil. Complete a patch test if you are concerned about sensitivity.
