Elecampane Sweet Essential Oil - Inula helenium - 100% Pure - 05ml - aromatherapy oil
$68.18
This very rare and hard to locate product is a 100% Pure Essential Oil and NOT the macerated or infused plant oil which is simply Inula helenium steeped in a carrier oil for a period of time and which is far less expensive but is often and quite incorrectly labelled as the essential oil - IT IS NOT.
BOTANICAL NAME: Inula helenium
SCENT: Elecampane Essential Oil (also known as Inula or Horse Heal) is intensely herbaceous, green, floral with a hint of chamomile and sweetly warm (almost perfume like in its intensity which is now its principal use) but the macerated or infused plant oil obtained from the plant can have little or no aroma (see full description for constituents)
STRENGTH OF AROMA: Strong
PLANT PART USED: Flowers, Leaves and occasionally Twigs too
EXTRACTION METHOD: Steam Distillation.
ORIGIN: Corsica
COLOUR: Elecampane Essential Oil is light yellow to pale green depending on the distillation chamber used. If Copper it will be greenish which is quite normal.

NOTE: Mid
Chemical Constituent Variants:-
The constituents within the oil will vary dependent upon the climate at the time of its growth and harvest and the location of its harvest. For instance - Middle Eastern Elecampane is very different with Cineole (54.89%), p-cymene (16.2%), [beta]- pinene (6.94%) and borneol (5.44%) and from from Greece it contains a high proportion of epi-a-cadinol (up to 30.2%) and bornyl acetate (25.4%).
In Corsica where it most commonly obtained it can contain a-pinene (0.96%), b-pinene (1.3%), y-terpinene (0.09%), camphene (10.41%), d-limonene (1.34%), para-cymene (0.17%), terpinolene (0.05%) a-muurolene (0.34%), b-caryophyllene (1.96%), delta-cadinene (0.22%), y-cadinene (0.56%), germacrene D (0.07%) a-terpineol (1.48%), borneol (13.45%), lavandulol (0.18%), linalol (0.08%), terpinen-4-ol (0.10%) t-cadinol (2.35%) camphor (0.08%), cis-jasmone (0.08%) bornyl acetate (47.17%), camphene hydrate (0.31%), geranyl isobutyrate (0.4%), lavandulic ester (0.48%), lavandulyl acetate (0.34%), other esters (1.29%) 1,8 cineole (0.08%), 2,3-dehydro-1,8 cineole (3.82%), sesquiterpenic epoxide (0.25%) methyl thymol (0.29%)
The oil can be Green or pale Yellow in hue - why? If it is green it has been distilled in a traditional copper still and trace elements of copper will be present whilst distillation from a stainless steel still will yield a pale yellow oil.
