AMBRETTE SEED (Dilution: 1:9ml Light coconut oil)
Abelmoschus moschatus

Planet: Venus

History & Mythology:
Ambrette Seed oil derives from the seeds of a type of Hibiscus that is common in India and the Middle East, where they are also used as a spice. In Arab countries, the seeds are sometimes added to coffee. Ambrette Seed, sometimes known as Musk Mallow, has a warm flowery scent, resembling that of true musk, which is an animal product extracted from the sexual glands of the musk deer. Thankfully, the sale of true musk has successfully been restrained, saving the deer from extinction. Ambrette Seed is used as a substitute in perfumery and cosmetics. The sensuous aroma has long been valued for its aphrodisiac qualities.

Magical Use:
Musk Ambrette stimulates the base chakra and raises the Kundalini snake. It is used in sex magic and trantric practices. The sensuous scent is tantalizing and arousing. It may be used to overcome inhibitions and blockages of sexual energy.

Scent:
A scent, somewhere between woody and floral: warm, musky, sweet and seductive. It is used as a substitute for real musk (animal product) and blends well with Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Rose, Neroli, Geranium, Lemon, Cumin, Sandalwood, Clary Sage, Bergamot, Lime and Coriander. Use sparingly; too much of this scent in a blend can be overpowering. The full aroma develops over time and should be given a few days to 'unfold'.

Aromatherapy:
In India, the roots and seeds of Ambrette have a long tradition of medicinal use. Ambrette Seed oil relaxes the nervous system and can be used to treat stress, anxiety, tension headaches and depression. It acts on the digestive system and can be used for nausea, and stomach cramps. It stimulates circulation and relieves muscular spasms, cramps, aches and pains.

SAFETY **
** Pure essential oils are highly concentrated substances that should always be treated with due respect. Organic oils naturally are the purest oils available.

** Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the properties and uses of each individual oil you intend to use and take note of all cautions.

** Never take essential oils internally! *

** Do not apply essential oils neat (undiluted) to the skin. The recommended Aromatherapy standard dilution is 1 - 3%, though certain oils may be used in higher or lower dilutions. Consider each case individually.

** Always adhere to recommended safety standards and recommended dilution ratios.

** If you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies test oil blends on a small area of the inner arm prior to general use.

** Keep oils out of reach of children and pets.

** Never allow essential oils to enter the eyes.

** If you are pregnant, consult a qualified aromatherapist for suitability and safety of specific oils. Many oils should not be used during pregnancy, some only need to be avoided for the first 3 - 4 months, others may be helpful during labour, but may pose a risk during the months before.

** If you suffer from serious medical conditions such as (but not exclusively) high blood pressure, cancer, thrombosis, varicose veins or epilepsy, consult a qualified aromatherapist for professional advice on recommended oils and dosages.

** We support the notion of people taking responsibility for their own well being. However, if symptoms persist or re-occur or you are suffering from a serious medical condition, or if you are presently taking prescription drugs, we recommend that you consult a qualified doctor or practitioner before attempting to help yourself. Look for a practitioner/doctor who you can trust and who is prepared to work with you in exploring natural health alternatives.
