The power of plants
Marjoram, an aromatic plant with tiny white or pink flowers, has been used for its many benefits since Antiquity. Dedicated to the god Osiris in Ancient Egypt, the Greeks and Romans considered it an excellent treatment for stress and anxiety. The naturalists of the time also believed it had aphrodisiac powers. With its minty notes, marjoram aids digestion and for this reason is a great addition to rich, oily dishes.
