{"product_id":"litsea-may-chang-essential-oil","title":"Litsea May Chang Essential Oil","description":"\u003cp\u003eSweet, fruity, and intensely lemony with a character all its own. Valley of the Moon's Litsea (May Chang) is an essential oil steam distilled from the small fruits of Litsea cubeba, also known as Mountain Pepper or May Chang, sourced from China. A delightful companion to Lemongrass but sweeter, fruitier, and more intense, Litsea has a bright, uplifting citrus aroma that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and is equally at home in a diffuser, a natural cleaning blend, or a body care routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Litsea cubeba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e May Chang, Mountain Pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steam distilled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet, fruity, and intensely lemony, brighter and sweeter than Lemongrass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumery Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Chinese Medicine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used historically for dysmenorrhea, indigestion, lower back pain, chills, headaches, muscular aches and pains, and travel sickness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNervous Tension and Stress:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helpful for stress-related conditions and nervous tension, with an uplifting, rejuvenating aroma that lifts the mood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Cleaning and Body Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Its fresh, intensely citrusy scent makes it a popular addition to natural cleaning products and body care blends.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweeter Than Lemongrass:\u003c\/strong\u003e A brighter, fruitier alternative to Lemongrass for those who prefer a more intensely sweet citrus character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Experience It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiffusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add a few drops to a diffuser for an uplifting, rejuvenating, and intensely citrusy atmosphere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTopical Application:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dilute 1-2 drops per 1 oz of carrier oil before applying to skin.
