    The objective of this study was to determine the laxative activity of the ethanolic extract of Origanum majorana L. (“marjoram”) in mice. The species was collected in the department of Ayacucho, macerated for seven days, and concentrated using an extraction hood and a Memmert oven at 40 °C until a dry sample was obtained. To analyze intestinal motility, the method described by Vogel et al. was employed, applying the direct observation technique. A total of 48 albino mice of the Balb/C53/CNPB strain, both male and female, were used, with a dose of 300 mg/kg. The extract demonstrated greater laxative activity. In conclusion, the ethanolic extract of Origanum majorana L. (“marjoram”) exhibits laxative activity when administered orally.
