What Makes Marjoram Essential Oil So Effective?
Marjoram’s soothing qualities stem from its key natural constituents — terpinen-4-ol, linalool, and γ-terpinene — compounds known to relax the nervous system and relieve muscle tension. These elements work in harmony to ease anxiety, encourage deeper sleep, and promote overall calm and comfort.
Traditionally revered as the “herb of happiness,” Marjoram was used in ancient Greek baths and massages for its ability to release stress and restore emotional equilibrium. Today, it continues to offer solace — from easing post-workout fatigue to helping you unwind at night.
