This Marjoram Essential Oil is steam distilled from the Thymus mastichina plant, which has a hairy stem, oval leaves and small whitish flowers in clusters. The whole plant gives off a strong aroma. This plant is actually wild thyme, but is known as Spanish wild marjoram. It belongs to the lamiaceae family of Spain and is not the same as sweet or French marjoram; it is also not oregano, which is also called wild marjoram.
It is said that this oil is more effective than sweet marjoram when used as an expectorant for respiratory infections and spasms, because it has antiseptic properties for the upper respiratory tract, but is not a muscle relaxant or sedative, as sweet marjoram is.
Spanish marjoram oil is widely used in aromatherapy and combines well with lavender and bergamot oil to create a relaxing environment. When used in an oil burner or in a massage oil, this herb would calm the nerves and combat loneliness and rejection. It also aids digestion.
It is known that Spanish wild marjoram has been used by herbalists since ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks and Romans crowned newlyweds with marjoram wreaths to symbolize love, honor and happiness. Marjoram tea with honey was used by singers to preserve their voice.
