Zi Su Zi - Perillae fructus, 5ml

The subtle aroma of Zi Su Zi essential oil is rich and nutty with a slightly bitter base and a light pungent top. Its energy travels downward from the nose into the chest where it opens and stimulates. 

CO2 extracted Fructus Perillae (Perilla Fruit, Perilla Seed)

Zi Su Zi specifically benefits the Lung by stopping cough and wheezing through dissolving phlegm and guiding Lung Qi downward. It is commonly incorporated into traditional herbal formulas for various types of asthma and cough conditions.

For example, when coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort result from cold phlegm obstructing the lungs, practitioners may consider diffusing a blend of Zi Su Zi essential oil with Xing Ren (Semen Armenicae), Hou Po (Cortex Magnolia officinalis), and White Pine or Gui Zhi/Gui Ye (Cinnamon twig and leaf).

To enhance the aromatic lung-opening effect in diffusers, consider blending with eucalyptus or pine.
