Spirit & Story
Wild-crafted by Maasai communities in Kenya, Leleshwa has been revered as a practical and potent aromatic herb for purification and protection. Its camphorous action clears the mind, refreshes the senses, and deodorizes naturally, making it a multi-use essential oil for body, mind, and space.
"Nothing much was known about the aromatic leaves other than, since time immemorial, the plant has been used by the Maasai as a natural deodorant."
~ Maggie Tisserand, Aromatherapy vs MRSA
Safety Note
Dilute before topical use. Avoid eyes and sensitive areas. Not recommended for children under 6, pregnant or nursing women without professional guidance.
