10 ml Marjoram Spanish Essential Oil

Latin Name: Thymus Mastichina. Part Of Plant Used: Leaves & Flowering Tops. Source: Spain. Extraction Method: Steam Distillation.

This exquisite Marjoram Essential Oil is steam distilled from the Thymus mastichina plant, which features a hairy stem, oval leaves, and clusters of delicate whitish flowers. Renowned for its robust aroma, this wild-growing thyme is distinguished as Spanish Wild Marjoram, belonging to the lamiaceae family of Spain. It is important to note that it is not the same as sweet or French Marjoram, nor is it oregano, often referred to as wild marjoram.

This oil is celebrated for its efficacy as an expectorant for respiratory tract infections and spasms, boasting antiseptic properties that benefit the upper respiratory tract. Unlike sweet marjoram, it does not act as a muscle relaxant or sedative. Spanish marjoram oil is a popular choice in aromatherapy, harmonising beautifully with lavender and bergamot oils to cultivate a serene atmosphere. When used in an oil burner or incorporated into a massage oil, this herb is said to soothe the nerves and alleviate feelings of loneliness and rejection. Additionally, it supports healthy digestion.

Spanish wild marjoram has a rich history of use by herbalists since ancient Greece. The Ancient Greeks and Romans adorned bridal couples with wreaths of marjoram, symbolising love, honour, and happiness. Furthermore, marjoram tea infused with honey was traditionally used by singers to preserve their voices.
