Marjoram
Marjoram is closely related to oregano and has a similar flavour, though it is slightly more sweet and delicate. It is used throughout Europe, particularly in France, and is great with fish and poultry. We use it in a number of our herb blends, including Italian Seasoning, Greek Seasoning, Herbes de Provence and Fines Herbes..
People make medicine from marjoram’s flowers and leaves. Tea made from the leaves or flowers is used for runny nose and colds in infants and toddlers, dry and irritating coughs, swollen nose and throat, and ear pain. Marjoram tea is also used for various digestion problems including poor appetite, liver disease, gallstones, intestinal gas, and stomach cramps. Some women use marjoram tea for relieving symptoms of menopause, treating mood swings related to menstrual periods, starting menstruation, and promoting the flow of breast milk.
Other uses include treating diabetes, sleep problems, muscle spasms, headaches, sprains, bruises and back pain. It is also used as a “nerve tonic” and a “heart tonic,” and to promote better blood circulation.
