About this product
For some of us, marjoram is the smell of a grandmother's kitchen, and one breath of it brings back a particular kind of calm. This extract holds that memory more vividly than the distilled oil: it smells closer to the fresh herb, vibrant and alive.
It is a CO2 select extract of Origanum majorana, made from dried leaves in Germany. CO2 extraction preserves the sensitive sabinene hydrates, and the extract carries a higher ester content, which gives it a softer, more relaxing character than distilled sweet marjoram. It warms the skin where applied, and it is a natural choice for blends made for relaxation.
Details
- Botanical name: Origanum majorana
- Method: CO2 select extract of dried leaves
- Extracted in: Germany
- Shelf life: about 2 to 3 years after opening
How to use
Add it to massage and bath blends for the evening, since high doses may prove sedating if used during the day; it may also act as a sexual inhibitor. Do not use it on the skin or by direct inhalation during the first trimester of pregnancy, and after that use it at half the normal dilution. Store it in the dark and refrigerated, and decant a half-empty bottle into a smaller full one to keep it fresh longer.
An herb garden's warmth, kept for the quiet end of the day.
