Parsley Herb oil (Australia)

Parsley Herb oil is colourless to pale yellow volatile oil with spicy, warm but fresh woody, herbaceous odour. This essential oil is steam distilled from the freshly chopped herbs of Petroselenum crispum.

Parsley reaches only 1 to 2 feet in height before flowering and thrives best in areas with partial shade. There are two common types of parsley: Italian parsley, also known as ‘Flat-leaf parsley’ and popular in Mediterranean countries; and ‘Curly leaf parsley’.

Parsley was traditionally used in making tea for treating gallstones and dysentery. Trusted as a powerful carminative, the leaves, seeds and roots of Parsley were used in treating numerous digestive problems including diarrhoea, ulcer, flatulence and colic pain. The juice extracted from the roots of this plant was used in folklore medicine as a diuretic and for treating kidney disorders like nephrolithiasis (kidney stones). Parsley herb is used for garnishing and adding extra flavour to all types of food items. Crushed Parsley leaves have been used for topical application for insect bites, skin parasites and skin tumours. Other conventional uses of Parsley include its use for treating arthritis, anaemia, cancer, prostate problems and liver disorders.

It blends well with Bay Leaf, Black Pepper, Clary Sage, Coriander, Ginger, Neroli, Oak moss, Star Anise, Tea Tree and Ylang Ylang.
