Chaparral is an herbal preparation made from a desert shrub and used for its antioxidant properties. There are many therapeutic topical applications that are safe if used in moderation externally.
Chaparral (Larrea tridentata), also known as: Creosote Bush, Créosotier, Greasewood, Hediondilla, Jarilla, Larreastat, it is a particular herbaceous woody shrub that is native to the deserts in the southwestern region of the United States and the northern region of Mexico and the Middle East Deserts.
It is said that Chaparral is one of the oldest, living plants on Earth. One specimen in the Mojave Desert called the “King Clone,” it is believed it has been on Earth since creation. Quite possibly was an original plant found in the Garden Eden. For centuries, it has been used by the Native American Indian tribes in Southwestern North America and the Amerindians from South America in herbal medical remedies through many different application methods. Rabbinical sources such as the Rambam briefly say the plants have many healing qualities too numerous to list. This herb does grow wild in the Middle East and Asia but in smaller quantities.
Recommended use for not only its therapeutic value but also recommended to be used during prayer in the holiday at the end of Sukkot called Shemini Atzeret. This is a holiday which is a special time and season to pray for rain on the Land of Israel.
Prayer for Rain: Tefilat Geshem The Prayer for Rain consists essentially of two beautiful and moving prayer poems, composed by the famous paytan, Rabbi Elazar ha Kallir, who lived about 1300 years ago. The first of these begins with the word Af Bri, which is the name of the angel of rain.

About the Aroma:
Its Aroma is the scent of crisp rain during and after a rainstorm. It has a slightly sweet scent note which has this electric high energy to it that is alluring to envelop you to open your mind and senses and is milder than our distilled essential oil version. We also have hydrosol from our essential oil distillation available here too.
