Marjoram

Marjoram (Organic) — Herbal Warmth with Ancient Medicinal Wisdom
Native to Asia and treasured by ancient Greek herbalists, wild marjoram has long stood as a symbol of wellness, balance, and gentle healing. While sweet marjoram (Origanum majorana) is popular in culinary use, it is wild marjoram that commands greater respect in traditional medicine—known for its soothing effects on digestion, respiration, and circulation.

From teas to steam inhalations, infused oils to balms, marjoram offers a remarkably versatile herbal profile. Its aromatic warmth carries centuries of therapeutic tradition in every leaf.
