Aromatherapy with Cistus Essential Oil

Aromatherapy with Cistus Essential Oil

Cistus Essential Oil, also known as Rock Rose or Labdanum, is steam distilled from the leaves of wild crafted Cistus ladaniferus.  There is some confusion, in the industry, about this oil because there are two other oils produced from the plant.

 

Cistus Essential Oil, Rock Rose / Labdanum, is well known for its meditative effect where it is said to slow the mind for deeper concentration. Rich, warm and spicy in aroma, Cistus has been used emotionally to warm what is frozen, a wonderful oil for those who have been traumatized or suffer from a dramatic loss. Cistus is considered one of the ancient spiritual oils with a history of being used in incense as an aid to meditation and centering.
