Benefits and Uses of Mastrante Essential Oil

I’ve discovered a new-to-me oil and now that I’ve had some time research and use it, I’m very excited to share it with you.  Mastrante essential oil has become one of my favorite oils over the past few months.  Young Living listed it as a new product several months ago and I needed one more oil to add to my Essential Rewards autoship, so I chose mastrante.  I am glad that I did!

Although I trusted that this beautiful oil would be beneficial, I wanted to research it before I started using it.  It took me a while to find anything about it because many people know it by it’s botanical name of Lippia alba.

Lippia alba, or mastrante, is a plant that grows in Texas, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.  Young Living sources their mastrante from Ecuador.  Mastrante is a member of the verbena family and is actually a shrub.  The essential oil of mastrante, which comes from the leaf and stem of the plant, can contain piperitone, geranial,neral, caryophyllene, camphor, eucalyptol, limonene, carvone, germacrene, α-guaiene, β-ocimene, linalool, or myrcene.

Mastrante has a pleasant tea-like, earthy scent.  It’s often used at spas for aromatherapy and in massage oils.
