About: Inula Viscosa grows in the Mediterranean area’s rocky soil and has pale green leaves and yellow flowers.
To make essential oil several thousand pounds of leaves and flowers are distilled in order to produce a single liter of essential oil. However, we have found this oil can be produced on a smaller scale. Less yield but it still takes a lot of material to produce this oil.
