LITSEA

Litsea Cubeba is the botanical name for May Chang, a  tree belonging to the Lauraceae family. The tree bears whitish-yellowish flowers that have a characteristic citrusy fragrance and fruits that resemble peppers (that’s where the word ‘cubeb’ comes from).

The essential oil is extracted from the ripened and dried fruits of the Litsea Cubeba tree.

The scent of Litsea Cubeba oil can be compared to Lemongrass, although the former is often described as “finer” and “sweeter” than the latter.

Like most citrus oils, its scent is immediately uplifting and rejuvenating, which makes it very useful for combating emotional problems and psychological issues.

From a therapeutic standpoint, Litsea Cubeba is known to possess antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties, and has been found effective in fighting away colds and other infections.

The oil is a tonic for the nervous system and can help with digestive problems as well.

The uses of Litsea Cubeba are not limited to health and wellness. This fabulous oil makes for an excellent skin tonic and can be used all over the house as a natural, organic cleansing agent.

Litsea Cubeba’s antibacterial and antiviral properties make it effective against common infections like cold and cough.

Simply pop a few drops into a vaporizer to keep any respiratory problems at bay.

Litsea Cubeba is also very useful in treating infectious skin conditions such as Athlete’s Foot because of its pronounced antifungal action.
