Pei Lan Essential Oil, 5ml

Pei Lan (Eupatorium fortunei herba)

“Wearing Orchid”

CO2 Extracted Herba Eupatorii

The aromatic, pungent, sharp overtone with a deep, earthy undertone of our CO2-extracted Pei Lan essential oil cuts through damp impediment to clear the pathways. When deeply inhaled, its aroma rises through the cheeks as if to lift the face into a smile and then vibrates through the eyes into the brain, creating a giddy, uplifted feeling. The oil is an opaque brown color with a rich yet pourable consistency.

Eupatorium fortunei is indigenous to the open woodlands and grassy slopes of central and eastern China’s temperate regions, as well as the tropical areas of southern China. It is extensively cultivated across China, where its fragrant parts are harvested for essential oil production. The plant is characterized by clusters of small, fluffy, pink flowers that bloom in autumn.

Pei Lan is an aromatic, dampness-dissolving herb in the Chinese medicine category. As such, it was a popular herb in early Daoist shamanic practices. According to Master Jeffrey Yuan’s teachings and as mentioned in The Shen Nong Ben Cao, it has the ability to remove dampness, an obstacle to clear communication with the Spirit. It was believed to enhance the practitioner’s intention. Its aroma, whether inhaled directly or dispersed via a diffuser, is an aid to meditation.

Use Pei Lan essential oil as a topical application on acupuncture points such as LI 6, or on BL 22 and 39, to affect the Triple Burner and regulate the waterways.

Pei Lan essential oil may be used for fumigation to purify the environment of microbes, to ward off diseases or old negativity, and to welcome fresh positivity. It is also used to eliminate worms and parasites, both literal and metaphorical.

Medicinally, Pei Lan regulates and harmonizes the middle burner, Stomach, and Spleen by clearing dampness and turbidity that interfere with appetite and digestion. It unbinds the Stomach when damp stagnation has caused nausea, distention, and pain. In this case, it may be combined with essential oils of Huo Xiang (Patchouli), Fo Shou (Buddha’s Hand Fruit), and, if there is coldness, Rou Dou Kou (Myristica/Nutmeg). These can be blended and inhaled as aromatherapy, placed on appropriate acupuncture points, or diluted in Black Cumin Seed carrier oil and applied over the abdominal area.
