Botanical Origin


Xiang Mao essential oil, also known as Chinese citronella, comes from the plant Cymbopogon flexuosus, a perennial aromatic herb that grows in warm, humid climates. This plant is valued for its distinctive and potent citrus-herbaceous aroma, which is carefully extracted by steam distillation from the leaves and stems. Young Living sources its Xiang Mao from sustainable sources, guaranteeing the purity and potency of the oil, making it a valuable ingredient in aromatherapy.
