The Profile
May Chang is a small tropical tree native to East Asia. While it belongs to the same family as Cinnamon and Rosewood, its scent is intensely citric. It is often called "Exotic Verbena" or "Oil of Tranquility." The aroma is a vibrant explosion of sweet, lemony, and fruity notes, similar to Lemongrass but with a softer, more refined candy-like sweetness. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has been used for centuries to harmonize the digestive system and calm the "spirit." Today, it is a favorite for those who find traditional Lemon too sharp or Lemongrass too earthy.
Therapeutic Actions
Antiseptic, Antiviral, Antifungal, Antidepressant, Antispasmodic, Carminative, Cordial, Digestive, Hypotensive, Insecticide, Stimulant (digestive).
Usage & Benefits
· Skin: The specialist for oily skin. It is a powerful astringent that helps balance sebum production, making it excellent for acne-prone skin and enlarged pores. Its antifungal properties also make it useful for athlete's foot.
· Nervous System: Known for its "sunshine" effect. It is a potent uplifter for those suffering from the "winter blues" or temporary low moods. It provides a quick burst of mental energy and clarity.
· Digestive: Helps stimulate the appetite and eases flatulence and indigestion. It is particularly helpful for digestive issues that are triggered by stress or anxiety.
· Circulatory: It has a gentle hypotensive effect, helping to lower blood pressure and calm a racing heart during moments of panic or high stress.
· Environmental: An exceptional air purifier and insect repellent. It is highly effective at neutralizing unpleasant odors and keeping mosquitoes at bay.
Emotional Benefit
May Chang is the "Oil of Manifestation." It is for those who feel mentally "foggy" or stuck in a rut. It helps clear away the dark clouds of doubt and cynicism. By stimulating the solar plexus, May Chang provides the optimism and focus needed to turn ideas into action. It encourages a "can-do" attitude and helps you radiate your own inner light, even during challenging times.
