May Chang (Litsea cubeba) is a tree native to China, Indonesia and other areas within South East Asia. Its essential oil has an intense, citrusy scent. Like most citrus oils, its scent is refreshing, stimulating and uplifting, making it a useful oil for relieving fatigue and lethargy. It’s also widely used in aromatherapy to treat a range of emotional disorders including anxiety, stress and depression.
May Chang’s antibacterial and antiviral properties also make it effective against common infections like cold and skin conditions such as Athlete’s Foot. While its gentle astringent properties work to cleanse your pores, its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action minimizes and heals existing flare-ups.
