NOW Foods Marjoram Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil steam-distilled from Origanum majorana — a close relative of oregano with a softer, more floral and herbaceous aroma that is distinctly warmer and more nurturing than oregano's sharper, more medicinal profile. Marjoram is particularly used in aromatherapy for its calming and grounding effects on the nervous system — promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety, and supporting restful sleep. Physically, it is traditionally used in massage blends for muscle comfort and tension relief due to its warming and slightly analgesic aromatic properties. The aroma blends beautifully with lavender, rosemary, and citrus oils. NOW Foods' Marjoram is GC/MS tested for identity and authenticity. Dilute in carrier oil before topical use. Not for internal use.
