Soothes Muscles after Exercise

Marjoram Oil relaxes tense muscles after exercise, and is supportive of the nervous tension. It is a key oil in the Raindrop Technique! It is beneficial for occasional simple muscles especially when combined with massage.

So, when I think of marjoram essential oil, I definitely associate it with muscle support after a hard work out. It is for this reason, that marjoram essential oil is used during Raindrop Technique.

Did you know that throughout the ages, Marjoram has been called the “joy of the mountains” and the “happiness herb? Yes, emotionally, it is the plant of love and longevity (well, it is, high in antioxidants!).

Experience Marjoram Oil

What is the Genus Species? Origanum majorana

Why is this information important? It is always important to know the genus species of a plant when using and purchasing essential oils.

There are over 30 different species of Marjoram including pot marjoram and wild marjoram. Origanum majorana is sometimes referred to as "Sweet Marjoram".

Remember, even though species may share some similar chemical constituents they are not at all the same. Therefore, just knowing the common name of a plant is usually not enough information.

It has also been reported that Thymus mastichina is often sold under the name marjoram or wild marjoram. So again, do not be confused or mislead by these companies.

Where is the Name Derived from? Origanum comes from a Greek words "oros" and "ganos" meaning "joy of the mountains".

Why is this Information so Important? Its not, it's just a fun fact!

What Part of the Plant is Used? Leaves

What is the ORAC Value:? 130,900 µTE/100g

What is Nan's Mental (Mindset), Emotional and Spiritual Interpretation of this Oil?

It is interesting that the Greeks and the Romans associated marjoram with not only love and happiness, but also with transition through physical death.

Death is also a metaphor for transformation which is the key here. Therefore, those who are experiencing the opposite feelings such as disconnected, insecure, unsupported can transform those feelings with the assistance of marjoram oil.

As we release negative feelings and we become more balanced, we are able to accept and love ourselves more fully and restore our power to ourselves.
