Uses of Marjoram Essential Oil:

• Marjoram essential oil 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 cause’s pain. Marjoram can penetrate without causing extra heat sensation to the area. It can also be effective with relief of backaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome.

Uses of Lemongrass Essential Oil:

• Lemongrass oil can improve your athletic performance by increasing blood circulation. (It brings highly oxygenated cells from your lungs to enhance the energy you need for better physical performance.) After exercising, it is very helpful in promoting and relief of buildup of lactic acid in the muscles that can cause cramping or Charlie Horse. Lemongrass oil has also been reported to be very effective in reducing pain.

• Skin fungus: Treat the affected skin areas daily with a blend of Fractionated Coconut Oil 2 ounces, Melaleuca 50d, Lavender 25d (If very sensitive skin, dilute with more FCO).
