Marjoram (Botanical name: Origanum majorana) is extracted by steam distillation of both fresh and dried leaves of the marjoram plant, also known as Knotted Marjoram. Some of the health benefits of Marjoram are: analgesic - helps reduce the pain associated with colds, fevers, inflammation, overexertion of muscles, toothaches, headaches and numerous other sources; antiseptic - the properties of marjoram oil make it a good application for both external and internal wounds. It also functions well as an ingredient of antiseptic lotions and creams. This protects the wounds against becoming septic and developing tetanus; cephalic - Marjoram oil is very good for the functioning of your brain. It keeps it healthy and active and does not let it get dull with advanced age, thereby relieving debilitating conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This quality also relieves you of headaches. It helps lower blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and brain hemorrhaging.
