Description
Celery seed essential oil is extracted from the seeds of the Apium graveolens plant, commonly known as celery. This herbaceous perennial, native to Europe and also cultivated in temperate climates across Asia and Africa, is recognized for its vibrant green, long stalks. Celery is harvested for its stalks, leaves, and hypocotyl, each serving various culinary purposes. The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the seeds, capturing a concentrated, aromatic essence. In aromatherapy, celery seed oil is valued for its potential benefits, including its calming and balancing effects. It supports relaxation, mental clarity, and overall well-being. Additionally, celery seed oil is known for its distinctive, earthy scent, which enhances essential oil blends and personal care routines, contributing to a soothing and balanced environment.
