Discover our Lovage Essential Oil (Root) 100% Organic and Handcrafted
A sort of large wild celery in scent, stature and foliage, Lovage is a perennial plant belonging to the Apiaceae family that grows spontaneously in the Pyrenees.
It is thought to have been introduced to France by Benedictine monks, who recognized its calming properties. In fact, its name, levisticum, derives from the Latin word for relief. In Switzerland, lovage is often referred to as “Maggi herb”, after the brand’s aromatized cubes sold in stores. The root, which is distilled to extract the essential oil and hyrdolat, contains coumarin, starch, vitamin C and tannin. It is also particularly appreciated in detox for its phthalide content. This chemical compound promotes drainage and detoxification, making Lovage root an interesting natural treatment option.
