Description
Lemony, sweet, intense, may change essential oil is refreshing and relaxing. It can help you take a deep sigh of relief and let go of stress. Use may chang to release physical stress, too—diluting it well in topical blends. May chang is rich in “aldehydes”—components that may irritate the skin but also make this oil excellent for cleaning. Our organically crafted may chang essential oil is steam distilled from the ripe berries of broad-leaved evergreen trees in India. They’re also known as “mountain pepper trees.”
Suggested Uses

Purify - Cleaning

Purify the room by adding a few drops of may chang essential oil to your favorite scrub or countertop spray—it helps reduce surface threats and protect your health.

Relax - Stress

May chang’s relaxing effects for the heart and mind make this sweet, lemony oil excellent in a stress-calming roll-on blend.

Relieve - Muscle Tightness

If you tend to carry tension in your shoulders and neck, try massaging them with may chang diluted in jojoba.

A Passion for Aromatherapy

Aromatics International would not be what it is today without your shared belief in what we do, what we stand for, and how we conduct our aromatherapy practice.

I embarked on my journey to source pesticide-free, sustainable products from small-scale farmers and a major criteria of mine is that everything I source is both aromatically vibrant and also therapeatically effective. I love sharing what I find in this world with others. I am constantly blown away by the positive response I receive from all of you. I thank all of you for your strong support throughout the years and am continually inspired by the warm words you share with me. It truly keeps me going.

Love, Karen
