Description: The aroma of magnolia blossom is light and floral, creamy yet spicy with slightly green herbal back notes. The magnolia tree has symbolic meaning in many cultures; in China it is thought to represent purity and nobility, in the Victorian times the flower was a symbol of dignity, strength of character, self-respect and poise, and some folklore says that planting a magnolia tree near your home would bring luck, protection and economic stability to the members of the household. Magnolia flower essential oil is anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-septic, anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, aphrodisiac, and a Central Nervous System tonic. This essence brings warmth to the emotional heart and soothes tension in both body and mind. Magnolia flower can assist with issues around self-image, both how we see ourselves and how we believe others see us. Using this essence daily or during meditations can lift the spirits, heal emotional wounds around image, and assist with a powerful and authentic sense of self.
