Lovage Root

About Our Lovage Root Oil Approximately 70% of this Lovage Root oil is made up by so-called Phthalides. These are two-pronged natural molecules which act similar to synthetic chelating agents. They are especially well suited to remove toxic two valence metal ions such as Cadmium or Mercury from the organs. The fragrance of Lovage Root and the appearance of the leaves are somewhat reminiscent of Celery. It is found mostly in European and Northern American mountain regions and meadows. Lovage also likes to grows in areas littered with debris. The grey brown root, bearer of the precious essential oil, has a thick bark.
