Also known as Lisea cubeba, exotic verbena is a very valuable plant native to Central America, where it is still cultivated. It is also produced in Asia (China, Vietnam, Japan) and Oceania. Its essential oil is extracted from berry-like fruits. The essential oil has a sweet, lemony, warm and exotic scent.

Exotic verbena essential oil is very pleasant to diffuse, with an intense lemony fragrance similar to that of Lemongrass. It is useful for nervousness, but also for toning up a tired person. Thanks to its high geranium and mineral content, exotic verbena essential oil also has excellent anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and anti-infectious properties (particularly in cases of osteoarthritis). Sedative, antineuralgic and endocrine harmoniser, it will keep you away from dark or negative thoughts and stimulate your creativity and concentration.

Essential oils are powerful natural substances and should therefore be used with care. Although essential oils have been used since ancient times, there is often a lack of knowledge about how to use them and what precautions to take. Many books deal with essential oils. It is therefore advisable to refer to them for traditional methods of use. 

 Nota : For diffusing, you can use our 30 and 100 ml bottles (organic essential oil packaged by Penntybio, certified AB by Aroma Plantes).

An essential oil is made up of chemically defined molecules (around 10,000 have been identified) that have been secreted by special plant cells. It can be made up of between one and several hundred molecules, which helps to explain why some essential oils have numerous properties but differing therapeutic effectiveness. To guarantee the properties needed for effective aromatherapy, it is important that an essential oil is 100% pure and natural (not cut, deterpenated or mixed with alcohol or vegetable oils) and preferably organic. This is the case for the essential oils we sell. They are sold in tinted bottles with dropper caps.

Whether pure or blended, you can use them in our various diffuser models. The information given on each essential oil is for guidance only. Beware of self-diagnosis: consult an aromatherapist or any other recognised professional and read our special file on the properties of essential oils in our thematic files.
