Himalayas (India), it has a sweet, rich top note that gives a sense of clarity and connectedness. This oil has the same antiseptic, expectorant, diuretic, nervine, rejuvenative effects that work most on endocrine system, nerve, respiratory and urinary tract.

Jatamansi, Sandalwood, Pine, Dhavana, Labdanum, Petitgrain, Rosewood, Calamus, Clarysage, Vetiver and
Ylang Ylang. However this oil should not be taken internally during pregnancy.
