(thymus mastichina)
Marjoram is a versatile herb that has a fortifying, warming and soothing effect. It can be massaged into the abdomen during menstruation and is helpful for diseases of the chest, obstructions of the liver and spleen. It is also useful for treating tired aching muscles, and is perfect for use in a sports massage. A few drops on a vaporizer will also encourage sleep, and a few drops can be added to a warm/hot bath at the first signs of a cold. It can also be used in masculine, oriental, and herbal-spicy perfumes and colognes
