Part of Plant: Flower/leaf

Origanum majorana, also known as Majorana hortensis and commonly called Sweet Marjoram, is a small flowering shrub that is a member of the Lamiaceae (formally Labiatae) botanical family.  Native to the Mediterranean, it is a culinary herb that is popular for its use to flavor vegetables and meats.

 

Marjoram essential oil has a sweet, fresh, herbaceous aroma that blends well with most floral, spice, and wood oils.  Consider blending with oils like Frankincense, Copaiba, or Peppermint and properly dilute in a lotion or carrier oil for a soothing massage after a long workout.  Try diffusing with Bergamot, Mandarin, Roman Chamomile, Cedarwood, or Vetiver, to create a calming and relaxing atmosphere.  It is also another oil that is known as a staple for many women.  Try blending with Roman Chamomile, Lavender, and Clary Sage, and properly dilute for a comforting women’s massage blend.  

 

Usage ideas:

  • Add a few drops of essential oils to a diffuser, cotton round, or a tissue.

  • Dilute to 1% in your choice of carrier oils to make a face serum or body oil.  Apply a small amount to damp skin after washing to help seal in moisture.  

  • Add 5-15 drops to 1 oz. of your choice of carrier oils to make a massage oil.

  • Mix a few drops with an unscented liquid soap or bubble bath and add to the tub when filling. 

For convenience on the go…

  • Properly dilute with your choice of carrier oils in a roller bottle.

  • Add up to a total of 15 drops of essential oils to a personal aromatic inhaler (aroma stick).
