Oil Introduction: Verbena

Let's talk about Verbena!

This one is a doozy, folks! And we're excited to share!

First, and very importantly, let's classify.

There is Lemon Verbana, and Verbana otherwise called Vervain (totally different genus name!).... so super Important we classify our oil!

What we are introducing to our line of essential oils is Verbena (wild). Its latin name is - lippia javanica. 

It's very important that we differentiate between the types because if you search the internet for Verbena, you might be getting information on a different plant/oil entirely! This could be fine if you're just gathering general info, but they all do different things, and each have different adverse warnings, so it is VERY important to be sure of what you're getting!
