Some information about marjoram

This plant of approximately 20 to 60 cm in height with oval dark green leaves and whitish flowers grouped in tight inflorescences likes dry and arid spaces. It should not be confused with wild marjoram, which is the popular name for certain oregano plants (Origanum vulgare), or with Scotch marjoram, which is actually a species of cineole thyme (Thymus mastichina). Shell marjoram is also known as garden marjoram or true marjoram. It is one of the most popular herbs, frequently used in cooking. The flowering plant is distilled to produce an essential oil with a fine, fresh, sweet and slightly medicinal smell.

Warming, relaxing and stimulating, it will help you to relieve pain in general. Tonic of the digestive system, you will use it to fight flatulence, aerophagia, intestinal disturbances.

Its sedative action is interesting to calm nervousness, overexcitement, depression, insomnia caused by stress. It is also said to promote the outpouring of tenderness and calm sexual impulses !
