Marjoram Essential Oil

Spark Naturals' Marjoram essential oil comes from the Hungary, and has the Latin name Origanum Marjorana.  Like most essential oils, marjoram has a variety of uses.  A list of its uses that I've come across includes, but is definitely not limited to, the following:

• Muscle Relaxer
• Shingles
• Tension
• Headaches
• Cold Sores
• Croup
• Constipation
• Asthma
• Arthritis
• High Blood Pressure
• Chronic Fatigue
• Shock
• Fungal/Viral Infections
• Sinusitis 
• Menstrual Cramps

Even BETTER news is that marjoram is Spark Naturals' Oil of the Month for February.  What this means is that if you place your order by end of the day on the 28th, which is tomorrow (Friday), you can get a 15ml bottle of marjoram for only $15.99 - shipping included!   The OOTM (oil of the month) Club is a wonderful way to get a large bottle of essential oil (or a blend) for less than it regularly goes for.  While you can't get the 10% discount from my code for the OOTM Club, the price is already greatly discounted AND you're getting FREE shipping.  However, please be sure to use my code ( SPARKEDMAMA ) anyway so that they know I sent you.  :)  Click on the image above to read more on the OOTM Club and sign up today or tomorrow if you want to get marjoram at this awesome price.

Like all essential oils, there are different ways that you can use marjoram.  It can be used aromatically, with a diffuser, and topically, either mixed with a carrier oil or neat.  Here are a few "recipes" that I've come across and/or written in my EO notebook for future reference.
