About marjoram (Origanum majorana):

Marjoram, also known as garden marjoram or sausage herb, is an annual plant from the mint family (Lamiaceae) that originates from the Mediterranean region. The essential oil is extracted from the leaves and flowers through steam distillation and contains valuable constituents such as terpinen-4-ol, sabinene, and linalool. Marjoram has been used traditionally for centuries – both as a culinary spice and in folk medicine for its calming, muscle-relaxing, and sleep-inducing properties. The name "marjoram" derives from the Latin "maior" (greater), which alludes to its prized qualities. In ancient times, marjoram was considered a symbol of good fortune and was used at weddings.

Perfect for:

• Relaxing massage for muscle tension
• Muscle relaxation after exercise
• Promoting restful sleep
• Stress reduction and emotional balance
• Headaches and tension headaches
• Relaxing baths in the evening
• Meditation and mindfulness practice
• Culinary use in Mediterranean cuisine

Aroma profile:

Marjoram has a warm, herbaceous, and slightly sweet fragrance with woody, camphor-like notes. The aroma is calming, comforting, and grounding. It blends beautifully with lavender, Roman chamomile, bergamot, rosemary, eucalyptus, cypress, clary sage, and other herbaceous or woody oils.

Combination recommendations:

• For muscle relaxation: Marjoram + Lavender + Peppermint
• For sleep: Marjoram + Lavender + Roman Chamomile
• For relaxation: Marjoram + Bergamot + Ylang Ylang
