Essential Oil – Marjoram Spanish

• A powerful, fresh, and camphorous-herbaceous aroma.
• It has a much stronger "nasal-clearing" bite than Sweet Marjoram.
• It opens with a bright, eucalyptus-like top note, followed by a spicy, woody heart and a clean, savory-green dry-down.
• It smells like a mixture of wild thyme and forest air—crisp, medicinal, and revitalizing

• Effective Expectorant: High cineole content makes it excellent for breaking up congestion, thinning mucus, and clearing the upper respiratory tract.
• Sinus Relief: Helps open blocked nasal passages and provides relief from sinus headaches when used in steam inhalation.
• Managing Colds & Flu: Acts as an airborne antimicrobial; diffusing it helps purify the air and support the lungs during seasonal illnesses.
• Soothing Coughs: Helps relax the chest muscles to ease the strain of persistent, dry coughs.

Muscle & Joint Care

• Relieving Muscular Aches: Its warming and penetrating properties help soothe sore muscles after exercise or physical labor.
• Joint Mobility: Often used in massage blends for arthritis and rheumatism to help reduce stiffness and improve localized circulation.
• Easing Spasms: Acts as an antispasmodic, making it helpful for muscle cramps, "charley horses," and general tension.
• Tension Headache Relief: When diluted and massaged into the neck and shoulders, it helps release the physical tightness that triggers headaches.

Immune & Physical Vitality

• Immune System Stimulant: Helps bolster the body’s natural defenses when you feel "run down" or at the onset of a chill.
• Antiseptic Properties: Can be used in cleaning blends or topical applications (diluted) to protect minor scrapes from infection.
• Circulatory Support: Helps "warm up" cold hands and feet by stimulating blood flow to the extremities.

Mental Clarity & Energy

• Dispelling Brain Fog: Unlike Sweet Marjoram (which is sedating), Spanish Marjoram is mentally refreshing and helps improve focus.
• Combatting Lethargy: Provides a gentle "pick-me-up" for those suffering from mental fatigue or morning grogginess.

Emotional Fortitude: Helps clear the mind of "clutter" and provides a sense of resilience during stressful projects.

• Because of its high 1,8-cineole content, it should be used with caution around young children (especially on or near the face).
• It is much more stimulating than Sweet Marjoram, so it should be avoided if you are looking for a sedative effect before bed.
• Always dilute to 1–3% for topical use
