 This tender bushy perennial herb, about 60cm (24 in) high, has a hairy stem, dark green oval leaves and small white or pink flowers. Originally from the Mediterranean region, the word origanum is from the Greek word 'orosganos' meaning 'joy of the mountain' and was given to newlyweds as token of good fortune. Marjoram oil can be beneficial in cases of nervous tension, respiratory congestion, painful muscles and joints, digestive problems and menstrual disorders.
