Marjoram (Origanum majorana) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, primarily in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures. Traditionally, marjoram has been used for a variety of ailments, including digestive issues, respiratory conditions, and as a general tonic. However, specific use of marjoram to support the glandular (endocrine) system is based more on folk tradition than on clear scientific rationale. Some traditional herbalists have recommended marjoram for its purported effects on hormonal balance and as a support for glands such as the adrenal and thyroid, but these claims are not well-documented in historical texts compared to its use for other systems like digestive or respiratory. Scientific evidence supporting marjoram’s effect on the glandular system is minimal. Most modern research on marjoram focuses on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, with only limited studies looking at hormonal effects, usually in animal models. No robust clinical trials confirm its efficacy for supporting the human glandular system. In summary, marjoram’s use for the glandular system is primarily rooted in traditional herbal practice, with little direct scientific validation.
