Marjoram (Origanum majorana), one of the calming Young Living Essential oils, has a woody, spicy aroma. It is has a warming effect on both the mind and body and, it soothes tense muscles after a hard work out. And it is beneficial for occasional nervous tension.
I also love to cook with marjoram and it is one of the key oils in the Raindrop Technique Massage, which you can read about by clicking on the following link: https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/essential-oils/singles/marjoram-essential-oil
Here are some other ways I love to use the Marjoram Essential Oil:
- Apply several drops (2-4) on a specific location (I like to use it for muscle pain)
- Apply to chakras/vita-flex points
- Use a couple drops of marjoram essential oil to coconut oil and use for massage sore muscles
- Directly inhale from the bottle
- Diffuse
- As a dietary supplement
- Cooking, it is great with turkey and chicken or with veggies
Here’s a great recipe to try with your Marjoram Oil (Compliments of http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cheese-sauce-for-veggies):
