Palmarosa Cymbopogon martinii var motia, wild harvested in India
steam distilled dried leaves of grass
As a grass, Palmarosa possesses natural purifying properties, making it highly effective as an antimicrobial and antifungal agent. It rejuvenates the skin by promoting regeneration and hydration, while its astringent qualities tighten and tone. Furthermore, palmarosa supports circulation and detoxification, contributing to increased vitality and improved skin tone. It can also ease digestive distress.
When applied topically or diffused, palmarosa promotes mental clarity and stability, a characteristic shared with other grass-derived essential oils, which offer a grounding energy, albeit softer than that of conifers and deeply rooted trees. Additionally, palmarosa acts as an effective insect repellent and, due to its skin-healing properties, can be used to soothe allergic reactions to plants like poison ivy and poison sumac.
