With its calming properties and positive effect on the human immune and nervous systems, marjoram was once known as a symbol of joy and happiness in ancient cultures.*

Also known as “wintersweet” or “joy of the mountains, ” marjoram was known to the Greeks and Romans as a symbol of happiness.

Every essential oil has an emotional component. Marjoram essential oil is The Oil of Connection. Marjoram aids those who are unable to trust others or form meaningful relationships. This inability to rust often stems from harsh life experiences. The individual develops a fear of close connection in human relationships. They mad tend towards reclusive behaviors, protecting themselves even further by abstaining from social interactions. They may also protect themselves by unconsciously sabotaging long-term relationships. Marjoram shows the barriers they have formed to protect themselves from others. It reveals patterns of aloofness, distracting one’s self from other people, or being “cold.” Those in need of marjoram oil most likely use these protective coping strategies unintentionally. Deep down they desire the intimate connection they subconsciously sabotage. Marjoram teaches that trust is the basis for all human relationships. It assist an individual in increasing their warmth and trust in social situations. Marjoram softens the heart and heals past wounds. It kindles the fire of trust in relationships so that one may fully blossom. When an individual feels safe and loved, they express their authenticity more freely. Marjoram restores trust and openness so that true bonds of love may be formed in friendships and relationships. (Taken from Emotions & Essential Oils: A Modern Resource for Healing)
