In Chinese Medicine: Carrot Seed is a sweet, woody oil used to nourish Heart and Liver Blood and to lift the Shen. It is also a principal oil for resolving damp in the Liver and Spleen, and is one of very few oils traditionally associated with Qi constraint in the Bladder. Its gathering course of movement is what makes it consolidating rather than dispersing.
Chinese Medicine functions adapted from Peter Holmes, L.Ac., M.H., Channeling Fragrance. The full profile — treatment patterns, acupoint combinations and synergist oils — is in the book.
