Origanum majorana

Synonyms: Majorana hortensis

Perennial normally grown as an annual. Upright plant growing to 60cm with grey/green leaves and small white flowers. Very aromatic leaves can be used fresh or dried; good in soups, stews, sauces, and for flavouring meat, fish and poultry. As a dried herb, marjoram makes a refreshing herbal tea and is used to promote herb bread, stuffing and when added to vinegar and oil dressings. The freshly harvested leaves and flowers may be also used in salads and all forms of cooking, but add towards the end of cooking for hot dishes. 

Marjoram has seen medicinal use in many ways, including a topical agent for sprains, bruises, general aches and muscle pains where the analgesic properties can help reduce pain. It has also been used for digestive and intestinal complaints, such as bloating and respiratory problems, including cough and cold symptoms. Due to the general relaxant properties of marjoram, it is helpful for nervousness and insomnia, tension headaches and migraines. The anti-bacterial and anti-fungal benefits of marjoram are useful in the treatment of open wounds and skin conditions.
