In Chinese Medicine: Palmarosa is a focused, restorative rosy-sweet oil addressing chronic Blood and Qi deficiency in the Heart and Spleen. Its gathering course of movement makes it consolidating rather than dispersing, and it is also traditionally associated with Blood congestion in the Lower Jiao. A valued oil for topical work.

Highly beneficial with a lovely smell that gently opens my sinuses, this oil by Snow Lotus was introduced to me by my Doctor of Oriental Medicine. After experimenting for several years, I now have it near 24/7.
