Uses

Marjoram is often used in culinary applications, such as in soups, stews, and sauces, and can also be consumed as a tea or tincture to promote relaxation and relieve stress. While fresh Marjoram is used in garlands due to its pleasing scent that calms the mind and as a food seasoning, dried Marjoram has a host of benefits for the skin and hair. It can be used to treat acne, blemishes, psoriasis, eczema and for rashes stemming from allergies, because it is extremely rich in antioxidants, which reduce the effect of free-radical damage caused on the skin. Marjoram also helps to treat scalp infections. It acts as a natural hair cleansing treatment as its antibacterial properties help to cleanse the hair and remove the impurities deposited by the polluted environment. 

Contra indications:
Marjoram is generally considered safe for most people when used as directed, but it may cause allergic reactions in some individuals, particularly those with allergies to plants in the same family (such as basil, oregano, and mint). It is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Additionally, marjoram may interact with certain medications, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before using marjoram as a natural remedy.
