African Verbena Essential Oil

$22.44$113.65

African verbena essential oil is a rare find.  This oil is related to the white verbena that we carried many years ago which was discontinued by the distiller.

It has a wonderful protective energy without being extreme in nature.  It is helpful for those who feel they are under psychic attack, or being bullied or manipulated by others.

Inhaling it instills confidence and raises energy levels, and awakens one from fear and anxiety.

It has a complex aroma, with a fresh, balanced bouquet that can be used as a single perfume.

African verbena is a medicinal herb used by several native tribal peoples of Africa. The herb has many traditional uses, as both a medicine and a tea.

It is most commonly used as a remedy for bronchitis, coughs, colds, and respiratory infection.  For this purpose it is inhaled or taken as a tea.

It is considered a psychic protector, and is used in rituals and ceremonial healing when one has had contact with wild animal spirits, or other psychic threats.  The Masai people make a red ointment using African verbena to paint on their bodies.
