Organic Ingredients

100% inula (Inula graveolens) essential oil.

“A perennial plant with a stem from three to four feet high; large saw-toothed leaves tapering to a stalk; and large heads of yellow flowers. The flowers have an aromatic camphor-like taste, due to the presence of a crystalline substance called Helenin, allied in chemical constitution to Kreosote. It also contains a quantity of starchy material, called Inulin, which differs from ordinary starch in being colored yellow by Iodine.”
~ Dioscorides, 1st century A.D.

“Inula graveolens is generally only found on the French aromatherapy market, and even then at a very high price and only in years with a very good harvest… It is so effective that a family of four using it correctly will certainly not need more than 5 milliliters one year… The best method of use is in a diffusor at night… Otherwise one can certainly put a drop on a pillow.”
~ Kurt Schnaubelt, Advanced Aromatherapy
