CO2 extracted Perillae fructescens Folium
"Purple Revival Leaf"

Zi Su Ye essential oil has a pungent, distinctive aroma combining the sweetness of fresh leaves and the spice of fresh mint. Its effect concentrates the eyes, tingles the scalp, spreads along the front of the ears and the jaw and warms through the throat to the stomach. Perilla grows wild in abundance in the hills and mountains of East Asia and is a plant of the mint family. While its pungent quality enters the Qi level, the purple color of the leaf signals that it enters the blood level. Both leaf and stem are extracted to make this essential oil.

Although Zi Su Ye is traditionally useful to warm and release the exterior, our CO2 extracted essential oil, like the herb in decoction, also harmonizes the middle jiao, expands the chest, and is famous for its ability to stop nausea and vomiting, including morning sickness and to calm a restless fetus. It is also known for its special function to resolve the effects of seafood poisoning.

The Ben Cao Qiu Zen describes Zi Su Ye this way, "Its aroma can vent wind outward, its warmth can warm the middle, facilitating the comfort of the whole body. Thus it is named revive (Su)."

May be blended with Mu Xiang oil for nausea and vomiting due to spleen and stomach Qi stagnation or for morning sickness.
