High Quality Zuta Levana (White Leaf hyssop Savory) blended with Israeli Golden Jojoba Oil botanical ame Micromeria fruticosa, commonly known as White Micromeria, White Zuta, or White Hyssop, is a dwarf evergreen shrub endemic to Israel and the eastern Mediterranean. It is a member of the genus Micromeria, of the Lamiaceae family. It is known as Zuta Levana in Hebrew and ashab a-shai in Arabic.
Aroma: Camphoraceous, minty, and green sage spice. In addition to pulegone, the other main chemical constituents found in this oil naturally are D-Limonene, Piperitone, Mentalactone, Guaiacol, Menthol, and Mentone.
This amazing essential oil is from organic healing plants grown locally grown in the Holy Land. We introduced this essential oil into our line in 2004 we just had to have this one. This essential oil is distilled during the summer when the Zuta white Hyssop plant reaches its maximum yield.
The aroma of this essential oil is quite strong and since we only get a small yield/batches we diluted this oil in Jojoba oil as a ready-to-use pain reliever, for headache relief, to clear congestion, for inflammation, and to reduce swelling.
When a plant grows in a particular environment, the plant takes all its nutrition from the soil as well as the characteristics of the Land. When you buy oil from Israel, you are receiving the actual essence of the Land in the oil.
Whenever you use our oils you will always be putting a bit of Israel on your skin. Just think when you diffuse Israeli oils you bring That aroma into the air of your living space which is like being in the Holy Land of Israel.
This plant can be found in Gallilee, Upper Jordan Valley, Northern valleys, Gilboa, Carmel, Samarian mountains, Judean mountains, Sharon, and Shefela.
Zuta levana was considered in the mint family of plants. Rabbi say that variety of Mint, Hyssop, and Oregano plants was often gathered in bunches and used as a brush or sprinkler for Jewish water purification rituals. Some Jewish scholars would argue that Zuta Levana is to be the mint plant referenced in the Bible.
Dried, hand grounded powdered zuta Levana was among a variety of mint leaves apparently were assiduously tithed by the Priests. This “bitter herb” was eaten at the Passover (Exod 12:8; Num 9:11). It still is eaten at Passover Seder feasts today and can be found often in Israel as a paste on the seder plate. It grows taller than the usual mint grown in Europe and the USA—often, in fact, three ft. high.
The synagogues in Israel 2000 years ago often at Shavuot had sprigs of a variety of minty plants sprinkled on the floor, so that the fragrance arose when they were walked on it. Shaw mentions zuta Levana in Plants in the Missouri Botanical Garden (1884). Some sephardic synagogues still do this today in Israel.
Mint represented wealth and abundance. Malachi 3:10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the L-rd of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. It was custom for Israelites would hang mint to fragrance their homes along with lavender nard.
In Israel today it is used as traditional medicine also attributes to this plant additional virtues such as antiseptic, stomach pain relief, breathing difficulties, cough, nausea and more.
You may dilute further in a carrier oil for cough chest rub for children, for a digestive tummy rub for children, cooling anti-bacterial, and is anti-viral. Ease joint pain and eases inflammation. We love mixing this with a drop of blue tansy oil to quickly decrease stress, swelling, and inflammation.
Zuta Levana is not recommended for women pregnant and nursing. Comes with a classic euro reducer top or a roller top (made for Boston round essential oil bottles).
