Marjoram Essential Oil

Marjoram oil is a pure essential oil, steam distilled from the plant Origanum majorana, a cousin species to oregano. This natural essential oil carries a light green to yellow appearance with a characteristic zesty, herbaceous aroma. Marjoram is a plant in the mint family, often used in culinary applications as a flavoring agent or cooking oil, or as a substitute for dried marjoram. Culinary uses aside, this essential oil is growing in popularity throughout aromatherapy and massage therapy due to its perceived soothing and calming effect.
