Wake Up! Smell The…
Litsea Cubeba (May Chang Oil) – Listea citrata
Aroma – Sweet, smoky, lemony.
Therapeutic Properties – Calmative, anti-infectious, antibiotic, stimulant, antiseptic, stomachic, antidepressant.
Interesting Facts – The fruit of the tree is also made into hot flavoring for meat known as sambal; while the flowers are used as flavoring for tea. Delish!
These are beautiful pictures, and look vibrant enough to smell from here! I like to use aroma scents in my yoga classes. I should try some of these.

You totally should. Maybe blend them with a carrier like unscented body lotion, jojoba oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, whatever carrier to your liking, put a bit on your pulse points, your wrists and the back of your neck, walk around and teach your class, and your students will get a whiff. Delish! The blending ratio of oil is for every ounce of carrier you add 5-10 drops of essential oil into the carrier. 5 is on the light side. 10 is on the heavier side. What oil(s) are you going to use? Let me know if you have any questions, and have fun! Salvador
