Marjoram essential oil - The Oil of Conviction

Marjoram aids those who are unable to trust others or form meaningful relationships. This inability to trust stems from harsh life experiences. The individual develops a fear of close connection in human relationships. They may tend toward reclusive behaviours, protecting themselves even further abstaining from social interactions. They may also protect themselves by unconsciously sabotaging long-term relationships. Marjoram shows the barriers they have formed to protect themselves from others. It reveals patterns of aloofness, distancing one's self from other people, or being cold. Those in need of Marjoram oil most likely use these protective coping strategies unintentionally. Deep down they desire the intimate connection they subconsciously sabotage.

Marjoram teaches that trust is the basis for all human relationships. It assists an individual in increasing their warmth and trust in social situations. Marjoram softens the heart and heals past wounds. It kindles the fires of trust in relationships so that one may fully blossom. When an individual feels safe and loved, they express their authenticity more freely.

Marjoram restores trust and openness so that true bonds of love may be formed in friendships and relationships.

Negative Emotions: 
Distrust, aloof, protected, distant, emotional isolation, reclusive, emotionally cold, fear of rejection

Positive Emotions: 
Open, connected, close relationships, warm, softhearted, loving bonds, ability to trust, safe

Interestingly, the best Marjoram grows and sourced from Hungary. A small country in the heart of Europe, connected and surrounded by many countries and central to Europe. Could not be more appropriate to its emotional qualities. Maybe that makes it exactly suitable to improve relationships and connect people.


Marjoram, as a herb, is extremely popular and commonly used in cooking in Hungary. Here are two of my favourite recipes, Chicken Paprikash with Marjoram and Braised Paprika Chicken that are easy to make! You will get even more flavoursome dish if you use your doTerra Marjoram Essential Oil. Many times I follow the recipe as it is and enhance the food with a drop or two of the oil! Cooking with essential oils is fantastic because they are there all the time, even when I have no fresh herb at home, like marjoram! Just make sure that you always use top quality 100% pure oils that can be taken internally and used for cooking.

Arborvitae - the Tree of Life and its emotional benefits

ARBORVITAE - known as the Tree of Life

The Oil of Divine Grace

Arborvitae assists individuals who believe or act like all progress must be made through struggle and solitary effort. Instead of trusting in the Divine, these individuals unconsciously block Divine aid, choosing instead to live by their own efforts. Arborvitae addresses the need to control one’s outcomes in life. It invites individuals to live with peace and joy by trusting in the abundant flow of Divine grace.

Arborvitae is also a grounding oil that teaches Divinity is all around. God/s grace can be felt and experienced here on earth; it is not distant or separate. God can help find balance in life and teach what to hold and what to release. 

Arborvitae’s Latin name means “sacrifice”. This oil invites individuals to sacrifice their personal will and ambitions  for a far more fulfilling way of living. By surrendering to God, the mind relaxes and the soul experiences harmony and peace. Arborvitae teaches that true strength can come through emptiness or a willingness to receive God’s strength. It asks individuals to relax, take a deep breath, and trust in the flow of life. Arborvitae assists thew soul to live effortlessly by Divine grace.

These compounds also contribute to Arborvitae’s natural insect repellent properties.

Native to Canada, all parts of the Arborvitae tree were used extensively by Native Americans for health benefits and for building vessels, totem poles, baskets, and clothing. Because of its natural preserving properties, Arborvitae prevents wood from rotting, which makes it popular in woodcraft and for preserving natural wood surfaces.
