The Greeks used marjoram as a common medicinal herb. It was used to treat spasms, excess fluids, as an antidote to poisons and to help digestion. It was used as a good luck token for newly weds and planted in graveyards to bring peace to the dead. In Latin the word "marjor" means "great". The term great was once used to refer to the prolonging of life. The oil is yellowish, darkening towards brown as it ages. The plants thrive on sunny hillsides.
