This time honored healing plant is a relaxing restorative with its herbaceous scent that encourages tranquility, calming  the nerves. This botanical plant ally is known to reduce high blood pressure as it soothes and eases distress of the emotions and the heart.The serotonin  production increases within the brain upon inhalation offering calming effects. Marjoram  is a sweet sedative sometimes therefore it is beneficial as a component in sleep tonics. Marjoram is a key ingredient in many muscular blends, especially the ones I blend, as it will enhance body restructure and repair while reducing rheumatic aches and pains. The antispasmodic traits will assist in alleviation or at least reduction of pre menstrual pains. 

On a metaphysical level Marjoram has the  affinity to serve as a mediator, as it is linked with Mercury who is  known as the Messenger of the Gods.  With language and  writing, tongue and speech  are enhanced with the connection of Thoth and Hermes allowing communication to flourish.
