Steam distilled Schizonepetae Herba - 5ml

Our Jing Jie essential oil is steam distilled at a small, old fashioned, family run distillery in the country side near Ji'an China where Jing Jie grows wild by the water. A fresh and powerful aroma, its distinct, peppery, green earth fragrance opens the nose, raises the skin hair, homes to the chest and quickens the heart. The old name for Herba Schizonepetae, Jiang Jie, means ginger mustard, describing its pungent nature and the plant is of the mint family.

With affinities to Lung and Liver, Jing Jie essential oil affects Wei and Ying Qi, venting wind, moving the blood and relaxing the sinews. The oil can be applied topically (diluted in a carrier oil) for rashes and itching, muscle spasms, bronchospasms, beginning stage measles, pruritic itchy skin eruptions, carbuncles, or furuncles and abscesses (contraindicated in cases of fully erupted measles or open sores).

Combine with Dang Gui and Chuan Xiong Oils for itching due to blood deficiency.
