Marjoram Essential Oil

Also known as “winter sweet” or “joy of the mountains,” Marjoram was known to the Greeks and Romans as a symbol of happiness. Marjoram has been used in culinary dishes, imparting a unique flavor to soups, stews, dressings, and sauces; in Germany, this herb is known as the “Goose Herb” for its traditional use in roasting geese. 

In traditional Austrian medicine, Marjoram was used to promote gastrointestinal health and to purify the skin. In modern applications, Marjoram is valued for its calming properties and for its positive effect of the nervous system. It also soothes tired, stressed muscles and supports both healthy cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
