Observations and Anecdotal Information
Oakmoss absolute is extracted from moss gathered from a certain type of oak tree. It also grows on sycamore, maple, willow, and alder trees, as well as old wooden fences, walls, rocks, and soil. It does not lend itself to cultivation, so must be collected from wild trees.
It is normally gathered in the winter. Oakmoss is an ancient medicinal herb used for intestinal issues, and and as a natural antibiotic. It was used extensively for metaphysical purposes.
It is known to help people feel grounded, and to connect us with the Earth Element. In ancient times, it was imported to Egypt from Cyprus and Greece, for use as an embalming agent.
