Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 In my haste I accidently picked up Marjoram (Thymus mastichina) instead of Sweet Marjoram (Origanum majorana/Majorana hortensis). Can I interchange these or do I need to purchase the Sweet Marjoram for my recipe. Thanks in advance, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Hi Kathy, What kind of recipe is it? Are you using it purely for scent, or for a specific " property " or " action " ? *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com kat101962 [kat964] In my haste I accidently picked up Marjoram (Thymus mastichina) instead of Sweet Marjoram (Origanum majorana/Majorana hortensis).

Thanks in advance, Kathy If you search the archives, there ought to be a really great post on the marjorams from Butch. I asked a few marjoram questions last summer, and he posted a really comprehensive overview in response. JenB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I use this in my snore spray. The recipe also contains geranium, lavender, cedarwood, eucalyptus, sweet basil with a water base. My cedarwood is definately a fragrance. This is my best seller and it really works. Kathy - Christine Ziegler 8/29/2004 1:31:04 PM RE: Marjoram Hi Kathy, What kind of recipe is it?

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hmmm, I'd say you might want to go ahead and get the origanum. Considering that you're using it both for aesthetics (scent) as well as for the potential " aromatherapeutic actions " , they do have profiles in both of those areas that are significantly different enough to change your blend into something other than what you're expecting and desiring. *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com RICHARD L HOHLER [kat964] I use this in my snore spray.
