What is Docteur Valnet Organic Marjoram essential oil used for?
Marjoram essential oil has antispasmodic, sedative and nervous system calming properties. It is tranquilizing, parasympathicotonic, hypotensive, vasodilating and analgesic. This essential oil protects against the renal and hepatic toxicity of lead acetate.
Marjoram or Origanum majorana (Lamiaceae family) is native to the Near and Middle East. Marjoram is grown in the south of France on light, dry soils with good exposure to the sun.
