Essential Oil Summary

Plant Summary

Lippia javanica, commonly known as the fever tea tree or lemon bush, is a versatile shrub standing at 1 to 2 meters tall, its square-stemmed, aromatic leaves emit a lemon-like fragrance when crushed. Thriving in open veld and forest margins, it boasts cream flowers and inconspicuous fruit. Recognized for its medicinal value, various parts of the plant are used traditionally for treating ailments such as coughs, colds, and skin disorders.

Creating with Essential Oils

Essential oils are also known as volatile oils. Essential oils are extracted from aromatic plants by steam distillation, resulting in a very concentrated herbal preparation. Essential oils are not safe to ingest but can be safely used in diffusers or topical first-aid and for cosmetic preparations like creams, shampoos, massage oils, and wound balms. As a guide use 1-4 drops in an essential oil burner, and 1 drop in 5mls carrier oil or a 1% concentration in topical preparations. Keep safely out of reach of children and animals.
