Litsea Essential Oil (BIO)

The litsea essential oil from Aromen comes from a small tropical tree endemic to China. Its deliciously fragrant yellow-white flowers are followed by tiny berries that look similar to peppercorns. When diffused, litsea’s aromas are fresh-lemony.

Not unlike many other citrus oils, litsea works well to repel insects and unwanted smells. It also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities that help reduce pains caused by asthma and bronchitis. Mentally, litsea is an antidepressant that reduces nervous tendencies and promotes a good night’s sleep.

The litsea essential oil from Aromen is 100% pure and organically certified.
