History
In the ancient world, marjoram was utilized by the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians for its healing and disinfecting properties. Later in medieval Europe, it was used for culinary purposes. For centuries, marjoram has been a popular ingredient in fragrances, cosmetics, and soaps.
Oil Description
Marjoram (origanum majorana), is similar to oregano, but is milder and sweeter in taste. Its soothing benefits stem from its high terpinen-4-ol content. Naturally, this makes marjoram an ideal massage oil for anyone with tension, abdominal or muscle aches.
Cautions
Use with a carrier for sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician if you are pregnant, nursing or under a doctor’s care. Do not put oils directly in your eyes (oils can drip into eyes – if this happens, flush with fractionated coconut oil, not water). Do not drip oils into the ear canal. Avoid sensitive areas.
