Latin Name: Thymus Mastichina. Part of Plant Used: Leaves & 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 little whitish flowers in clusters. The entire plant exudes a strong aroma. This plant is wild-growing thyme, 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. This oil is said to be more effective than sweet marjoram as an expectorant for respiratory tract 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 commonly used in aromatherapy and blends well with lavender and bergamot oils for creating a relaxing environment. When used in an oil burner or massage oil, this herb is said to calm the nerves and ease loneliness and rejection. It also aids digestion. Spanish wild marjoram has been used by herbalists since Greece and Rome. Greeks and Romans crowned bridal couples with wreaths of marjoram to symbolize love, honour, and happiness. Marjoram tea with honey was used by singers to preserve their voices.
