Description
Latin name: Thymus Mastichina
Part of plant used: leaves and flowering tops
Source: Spain
Extraction method: steam distillation
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 exudes a strong aroma. This plant is actually wild-growing 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; nor is it oregano, also known as wild marjoram.
This oil is said to be more effective than that of sweet marjoram when used as an expectorant for respiratory infections and spasms, as 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 oils to create a relaxing environment. When used in an oil burner or in a massage oil, this herb is said to calm the nerves and combat loneliness and rejection. It also aids digestion.
Spanish wild marjoram is known to have been used by herbalists since ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks and Romans crowned brides and grooms with marjoram wreaths to symbolize love, honor and happiness. Marjoram tea with honey was used by singers to preserve their voice.
