LIVING LIBATIONS - Echinacea - Ginger + Orange Blend

Effective and exalted Echinacea, also known as Purple Coneflower, has a beautiful bedside manner! This elegant elixir has provided herbal apothecaries with robust remedies from the days of old.

Herbalists have been recommending the pretty purple flower dried or tinctured for centuries, yet only recently has the potent essential oil become available. All the aerial parts of the plant (the parts that grow above ground), are gently hydro-distilled to release the plant’s aromatic liquid. The resulting essence is rich and so thick that it is tricky to handle. At Living Libations they transformed this super thick Echinacea Essential Oil into a workable liquid by mixing it into two handy combinations so that Echinacea essence can work its salvation.

In this cheery apothecary, Orange brightens Echinacea and softens Ginger’s spicy edges. This terrific triple play is most effective topically when diluted before use. Echinacea 78%, Orange 21%, and Ginger 1%.

Gregarious Ginger (Zingiber officinale) plants grow underground rhizomes that are an ample source of antioxidants and anodynics to help you get on with life. It is a mainstay of traditional Eastern balancing tonics and historically one of the most trusted and important apothecary herbs. Its essential oil constituents vary by where the plant is grown, and ginger grown in the tropical lowland forest of Madagascar contains a whopping 194 plant constituents, including 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol. The rhizome harvest takes place between June and July. After drying, ginger rhizomes are steam-distilled to produce the essential oil.

Sunny sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) manifests mood-lifting molecules and potent plant powers for salient skin and soul rejuvenation. Grown in an organic grove and cold-pressed from thousands of peels of ripe Citrus sinensis, the aroma quenches memories of sunshine and freshly squeezed orange juice. It is as versatile as it is sweet!
