LITSEA

Litsea essential oil is steam distilled from the fruit of the Litsea tree.

Aromatically, Litsea has a citrus, sweet, fruity scent.

Litsea cubeba is an evergreen tree or shrub belonging to the Lauraceae family. Its fruit produces Litsea—a lemon-like essential oil with a wide range of uses and benefits. Being native to East Asia, Litsea has a long history of traditional use by the indigenous people of Taiwan. Due to its high content of geranial and neral, Litsea essential oil works well as a surface cleanser in the home. In addition, Litsea helps support healthy immune, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems.* When diffused, Litsea can have strong rejuvenating effects that add a fresh and bright energy to your day! Providing antioxidant support* and cleansing to the skin, Litsea essential oil is an excellent addition to your daily routine.

Sourcing Information​

One of the main reasons I chose dōTERRA is because of where and how they source their essential oils. dōTERRA believes that plants produce the best chemical properties when they are grown and harvested in their native habitat. ​
dōTERRA sources Litsea from China. Each batch of essential oils goes through over 60 tests to ensure that they are pure, potent, effective oils worthy of the dōTERRA name. Some of those tests are:

• Organoleptic testing
• Microbial testing
• Gas chromatography
• Mass spectrometry
• Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
• Chirality testing
• Isotopic analysis
• Heavy metal testing

You can access the GC/MS reports of each batch of dōTERRA essential oils. These tests are done by an independent third-party lab. Your unique Quality ID is located on the bottom of your bottle. Enter that ID at sourcetoyou.com to access the reports.
