White Lotus Absolute Essential Oil
5ml
Blended with Jojoba Oil
ISRAEL
White Lotus Absolute has a warm, green, floral aroma with earthy, sweet, fruity-floral undertones. It is bolder and less sweet than Pink Lotus Absolute. We find it to have a sensual quality that works well in many perfume blends.
Botanical name: Nelumbo nucifera
Plant part: Flower
Extraction method: Natural Solvent Hexane Free
Aromatic scent: Lotus White has an exotic floral aroma with slightly herbaceous and medicinal top notes. It is very similar to Lotus Pink but not as sweet in aroma. Reddish orange in color and this oil will stain clothing much like sea buckthorn CO2 or Rose absolute oil would.
Absolutes can be very viscous or even solid and can be difficult to extract from the bottle. Although we blended this with Jojoba Oil this oil may still need gentle warming this oil in a water bath will melt and soften to make it easier to use.
Some Bible historical perspective:
Job 40:21 Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.
Lotus flowers grow in water that is filled with dirt and mud. Not only do lotus grow in dirty water, but they also can clean toxins out of the water around them. When lotus flower arises from the merky waters below as a clean flawless beautiful flower in all it’s glory.
Lotus symbolizes rebirth, renewel and resurrection and it is interesting to note the lotus is said to represent the womb and its essence will help with fertility. The Sages say that Moses was discovered floating in the Nile River, surrounded by blue lotus flowers and giant leaves that sheltered him and shaded him from the scorching midday sun.
Lotus reflects how a woman who was nidda (mense bleeding) feels when she emerges from the mikvah a ritual pool of water that cleanses her, she stands in splender flawless once again to meet with her husband in relations. When we appreciated the beauty of how lotus flower emerges from dirty water with pure blossoms, we cannot help but think of ultimate spiritual message of G-d’s mercy and blessings even when sin is present.
In Asia and parts of the Middle East, where the lotus is the flower of that region, it is not unusual to see a displays or find carvings of lotus flowers in places of worship like churches, synagogues and mosques. In Israel and Egypt, the lotus grows natively. Much of the flowers are either blue or pink and grow in many rivers and streams of the Holy Land and Egypt.
