## About
High in the Himalaya, this rhododendron is gathered as a sacred fragrant substance, burned in offering to please and harmonize the earthly divine, especially the local earth spirits. Its oil carries something of that reverence into your own quiet hour.It is steam-distilled from the wildcrafted flowers and leaves of Rhododendron anthopogon in Nepal. The aroma is unlike most floral oils: slightly balsamic, sweetly floral and herbaceous, exotic and delicate, pleasant and never overpowering. It is a deeply spiritual oil, used in blends for transitions and grief and in meditation, and a versatile one besides. It is part of the Be Kind collection, chosen by aromatherapist Lola King after six months of study and work with it.DetailsBotanical name: Rhododendron anthopogonOrigin: NepalMethod: Steam-distilled flowers and leavesGrowing: WildcraftedBlends with: Bergamot, Clary Sage, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Grapefruit, Helichrysum, Lime, Red Mandarin, Rose absolute, Black Spruce and Ylang YlangShelf life: about 4 to 5 yearsHow to useBreathe it from a diffuser or an inhaler during meditation or while blessing a space, or apply it at a safe dilution.
