What is Marjoram?

Marjoram is a plant, more specifically a herb, usually used as a cooking spice. Interestingly, in early Greek mythology the goddess of love, known as Aphrodite, grew marjoram and regarded it as a love potion. Fascinating stuff! But what else is it used for?

Marjoram is an aromatic herb in the mint family, with potent applications in healthcare thanks to its incredible anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Marjoram looks similar to oregano, another popular herb in the mint family, yet has a distinct smell and flavour that sets it apart.  Marjoram has a floral and woodsy scent and taste and is used either in dishes or as a garnish. 

Medicinally, marjoram is renowned for its health benefits. Marjoram is known to assist in digestion, reducing bloating and discomfort. Marjoram is also used to help menstruation, thanks to it’s anti-inflammatory properties.
