Marjoram Spanish Essential Oil - 10 ml

Latin Name: Thymus mastichina  |  Plant Part: Flowering Tops & Leaves  |  Source: Spain  |  Extraction: Steam Distillation

Marjoram Spanish Essential Oil is a warm, herbaceous oil with a fascinating botanical story. Despite its name, Spanish Marjoram is not true marjoram at all — it is steam distilled from Thymus mastichina, a wild thyme native to the Iberian Peninsula. This gives it a unique aromatic character: clean, invigorating, and gently camphoraceous, sitting somewhere between thyme and eucalyptus with a comforting, homely warmth.

Prized in aromatherapy for its versatility, Spanish Marjoram is a go-to oil for respiratory support, muscle comfort, and creating a calm, settled evening atmosphere. Its high 1,8-cineole content makes it particularly effective when diffused during the winter months, while its warm, herbaceous depth makes it a natural companion for woody and citrus blends.

Aromatherapy Uses

• Diffuse 2–3 drops for a warm, herbaceous evening ambience that promotes relaxation and clear breathing
• Blend with Lemon or Orange for a fresh, uplifting combination
• Pair with Cedarwood or Frankincense for cosy, grounding depth
• Dilute in a carrier oil and massage into tired or overworked muscles
• Use in steam inhalation to support the respiratory system

How to Use

• Diffusion: Add 2–3 drops to your diffuser alone or in a blend
• Massage oil: Dilute at 1–2% in a carrier oil (approx. 5–10 drops per 30ml)
• Steam inhalation: Add 2–3 drops to a bowl of hot water and inhale gently
• Bath: Add 3–4 drops to a tablespoon of carrier oil before adding to a warm bath
