Description
Ethically harvested from the fruit of the native Chinese litsea cubeba tree, this oil has a light, citrusy sherbet aroma – similar to lemongrass, but sweeter and richer.
• Soothing & refreshing: immediately help lifts the spirit, clear the head, refresh one’s mood & soothe unsettled nerves.
• Skin firming: its astringent properties help tighten skin tissues to tone, firm, and give an overall youthful appearance.
• Clarifying: contains antiseptic compounds to clarify oily and blemish-prone skin (antiseptics disrupt bacterial growth which can lead to acne and pimples).
• Massage: for general tension and muscle aches. Its traditional use in digestive and liver tonic makes it ideal for an abdominal massage.

Cotton ball: put a few drops in cotton balls and breathe in or (better still) place cotton in a cylindrical container first and breathe in from there. Keep the container at 10cm away and inhale 10 deep breaths. Repeat steps for desired effects 2-3 times a day.
Diffuser/Vaporisation: add recommended number of drops to nebulizer or cold steam diffuser.
Bath: Add few drops to bath. To help oils disperse easily, mix first with little oil or our liquid soap before pouring into bath.
