Marjoram essential oil is steam distilled from the Thymus mastichina plant, which has a hairy stem, oval leaves and small whitish flowers. The whole plant emits a strong aroma. This plant is actually wild thyme, but is known as Spanish wild marjoram. It belongs to the Spanish lamiaceae family and is not the same as sweet or French marjoram; nor is it oregano, also called wild marjoram.
Spanish marjoram oil is commonly used in aromatherapy and blends well with lavender and bergamot oils to create a relaxing environment. When used in an aroma lamp or massage oil, this plant calms the nerves and fights loneliness Spanish wild marjoram is known to have been used as a medicinal plant as far back as ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks and Romans crowned bridal couples with marjoram wreaths to symbolize love, honor and happiness. Marjoram tea with honey was used by singers to preserve their voice.
