Natural Relaxant and Stomach Friendly
Marjoram tea has an antispasmodic (spasm-relieving) property, just like mint. It soothes stomach cramps and rapidly relieves post-meal bloating and gas pains. Furthermore, by balancing the intestinal flora, it facilitates digestion and is highly effective in cases of stomach chills.
Due to the essential oils it contains (linalool, terpineol), it is a powerful natural sedative (calmant). For those experiencing chronic stress, anxiety, and nervous tension, drinking a cup of marjoram tea 1 hour before going to bed relaxes the muscles, calms the brain, and facilitates the transition to a deep, uninterrupted sleep.
A mug of boiling water is added over one teaspoon of dried marjoram leaves, the cup is covered, and it is left to steep for 5-10 minutes so that the essential oils do not escape. However, because it may have a stimulating effect on uterine muscles (inducing menstruation), it is absolutely not recommended for pregnant women to drink it; additionally, those with bleeding disorders or patients scheduled for surgery should avoid its consumption.
