History
- This bushy, annual herb, originally from the Mediterranean is now native to Egypt, South France, North Africa, and Germany.
- Marjoram Essential Oil is derived from dried leaves as well as from the plant's flowering tops by steam distillation.
- Much further ago as Ancient Egypt, Marjoram Oil has been documented. It is very well known for its healing properties as well as its means to help people cope better during the grieving process.
- Sweet Marjoram was stretched on the floor of houses in the 16th century thanks to its potent and harmful scent that masked unpleasant odors.
