A little history

Marjoram has marked history with its fragrant imprint since it was already cultivated in the Egypt of the Pharaohs. In the time of the Greeks and Romans, she crowned the heads of young brides to bring good luck and promote conception.

You may be tempted to confuse oregano with marjoram, but cooks are not mistaken. These two plants may be close, but the perfume of the first is due to its thymol content, which marjoram is completely devoid of. It takes about 100Kg of flowers to obtain 300ml of essential oil.

Resources

In my journey to learn about Essential Oils and Aromatherapy over the years, I deep dive into books and courses. I love to educate myself and below you can see some of the books I have used as resources when writing my content. I have tried a lot of different recipes and have been inspired to make some of my own as well. Some of the recipes are from the books. There are so many brilliant authors, and I feel honored to share such great wisdom and knowledge so that we all can live more in harmony with Mother Nature. So share and include this knowledge in your care for yourself and your family and friends. Love Susann
