5 Uses for Marjoram EO by Athletes

Marjoram may be relaxing and calming to the muscles that constrict and sometimes contribute to headaches. Decreasing swelling is one of Marjoram's most important jobs, because swelling causes most of the pain you experience from cuts and bruises. If you have a headache, menstrual cramps or bruises, repetitive strain injury, sore throat, insect bite or almost any type of infection, they all involve inflammation that pins down your nerves, and that pressure causes pain. Marjoram can penetrate without causing extra heat sensation to the area. It can be effective with relief of backaches.
