Oregano and Marjoram

This plant is one of the best antiseptics owing to its high thymol content.

Marjoram tea helps ease bad colds, has a tranquillising effect on nerves, and helps settle upset stomachs. It also helps to prevent sea sickness.

For temporary relief of toothache, chew the leaf or rub a drop of essential oil on the gums. A few drops of essential oil on the pillow will help you sleep.
