Inula Essential Oil is a rare and revered gem in aromatherapy, steam-distilled from the yellow flowers of Inula graveolens grown in the Corsican countryside. This exquisite essence is only available during years of abundant harvest, making it highly prized for its clarity-enhancing, respiratory-supporting, and mood-lifting properties.
Its rich, electric-herbaceous-floral aroma with cineol notes awakens the senses, opens airways, and inspires deep, relaxing breathing. Inula is indispensable in aromatherapy apothecaries for diffusers, chest balms, salt inhalers, and baths.

“A perennial plant with a stem from three to four feet high… large heads of yellow flowers… The flowers have an aromatic camphor-like taste due to Helenin… It also contains inulin, which differs from ordinary starch.”
– Dioscordes, 1st century A.D.
“Inula graveolens is generally only found on the French aromatherapy market… One can certainly put a drop on a pillow or diffuse it at night for best results.”
– Kurt Schnaubelt, Advanced Aromatherapy
