Pure Indigenous African Lemon Bush Essential Oil is steam-distilled from Lippia javanica (also known as Fever Tea), valued in South African tradition for its fresh, lemony, herbaceous aroma. It's a favourite in aromatherapy for everyday freshness, clear-air blends, and practical home projects.
♡ Why we love it: Bright and clean with a citrus-herbal lift, it freshens a room and suits daytime focus. It also layers well with citronella, lemongrass, and eucalyptus for outdoor blends.
Size: 10ml.
