USES IN AROMATHERAPY
Mind/Emotional:
In ‘The Blossoming Heart: Aromatherapy for Healing and Transformation”, Robbi Zeck ND described Marjoram’s warm herbal aroma as able to strengthen the nervous system, rebuild the reserve and fortify the spirit and reduce obsessive thinking.
Since prehistoric times, the herb was known to be the ‘Herb of Happiness and Love’. The aroma of the oil can eliminate feeling of loneliness and deprivation; and infuse the warm, comforting feeling of security and ‘being cared for’ (inner self-nurturing). Also trusted to be the ‘Joy of the Mountain’ to the Greeks, you will adore it for its ability to release emotion of misery and distress.
Obsessive worry and feeling of deprivation manifest from energetically depleted earth energy. The oil works to repair or renovate the toxicity of the mind (demotivation, emotional fatigue and depression) and body. It is an excellent calming tonic.
Body/Physical:
In Oriental medicine, Sweet Marjoram is a ‘warming’ oil that has the ability to strengthen, tone and circulates the Qi; lending it an effective pain-reliever for stiffed or overworked muscles, arthritis, sprains, strains, etc. Due to its monoterpenol content, the oil is an anti-spasmodic that quiets spasms in all systems including muscular, digestive and respiratory.
Supportive of digestive health, the scent of Marjoram triggers salivary glands to kick start digestive process. It is thought to be able to ease stomach cramps, indigestion, flatulence and nausea.
A great oil for respiratory blend, Marjoram may ease respiratory distress by clearing blocked airways and infections such as bronchitis. It is beneficial for spasmodic dry coughs as well.
Due to its antibacterial, antiseptic, disinfectant and antioxidant properties, Marjoram has an affinity for the skin. It helps bruising fade more quickly. Additionally, it is also helpful for skin infections such as wounds, abscesses, rashes, scalp infection, acne and dermatitis.
The oil is thought be a circulatory stimulant and vasodilator. It helps widen blood vessels to assist blood flow which may help reduce blood pressure condition and ease heart palpitations. It can also ease headaches caused by muscles tension or lack of circulation.
Marjoram regulates menstrual cycle and encourage menstruation and relieves dysmenorrhea. It has circulatory, sedative, relaxant and emmenagogue properties that help to stimulate regular menstruation (regulate missed or delayed periods), lessen menstrual pain and cramps; and fortify the pelvic muscles
