Found growing on the oak trees, firs and pines of the mountainous temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere, oakmoss is a fungus rich with beneficial properties. This short, bushy lichen has the distinct shape of deer antlers, boasting a pleasant minty green color when dry, a dark yellow-green olive color when wet. Popular in aromatherapy, it evokes the scent of the wet forest, truly connecting you with the earth when used in meditation.

History of Oakmoss

Oakmoss and its precious essential oil have been used for hundreds of years. It has seen a rich history in perfumery, dating back as early as the 16th century thanks to its natural fixative properties. Basketfuls of oakmoss have been found in ancient royal Egyptian tombs, though their use in that regard is not well known. Oakmoss oil is notorious for sensitizing the skin of some when applied directly, so be sure to dilute in a carrier oil well and test on a small spot of skin before use.
