Essential Oil – Marjoram Sweet

• A warm, woody, and herbaceous aroma with a delicate spicy-medicinal undertone.
• It is much softer and sweeter than most culinary herbs. It features a nutmeg-like warmth and a subtle peppery finish.
• It smells "mellow"—reminiscent of a sun-baked herb garden in late summer—leaving a dry, savory, and soothing trail

• Combatting Insomnia: It is a potent sedative that helps quiet a "hyper" nervous system, making it ideal for those who struggle to fall asleep due to stress.
• Reducing Anxiety: Helps soothe "agitated" nerves and provides a sense of emotional security for those feeling lonely or grieving.
• Lowering Blood Pressure: Known for its hypotensive properties, it can help calm a racing heart and lower blood pressure triggered by stress.
• Emotional Trauma: Often used to provide comfort and "warmth" during times of deep emotional shock or loss.

Muscular & Structural Relief

• Easing Muscle Spasms: One of the best oils for "knots" in the shoulders and neck; it helps physically relax tight, overworked muscles.
• Joint Pain & Arthritis: Its warming effect increases circulation to cold, stiff joints, providing relief from chronic aches.
• Menstrual Cramp Relief: Highly effective for easing painful uterine contractions when massaged over the abdomen in a carrier oil from clubarome.com.
• Tension Headaches: Helps release the physical constriction in the head and neck that often leads to chronic headaches.

Digestive & Cardiovascular Health

• Digestive Stimulant: Helps move a "sluggish" digestive system, relieving constipation, cramps, and flatulence.
• Heart Tonic: Gently supports the cardiovascular system by helping to dilate blood vessels, which reduces the strain on the heart.
• Abdominal Comfort: Soothes the "nervous stomach" sensations associated with stage fright or general anxiety.

Respiratory Care

• Soothing Spasmodic Coughs: Helps relax the chest and throat muscles to stop repetitive, "tickly" coughing fits.
• Clearing Sinuses: While gentler than Eucalyptus, it helps clear the head and supports the lungs during the tail-end of a cold.

• Because it is so effective at inducing relaxation, it can cause drowsiness.
• Avoid using it when you need to stay alert or drive.
• It is generally very safe and non-irritating, but it is best avoided during pregnancy as it is a mild emmenagogue (can stimulate blood flow).
