Litsea is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, deodorising, digestive, insecticidal and sedative.

Most used for skin clarity support (acne-prone, oily skin), nervous tension and stress.

Its enticing scent soothes the nervous system and helps express emotions in a more constructive manner.

Litsea cubeba is a wonderful support for seasonal low mood, stress, irritability and anger. It helps release negative emotional patterns and promotes relaxation, mental clarity and restful sleep.

Hexagram 44: Coming to Meet (ๅงค Gou) โ€” Wind under Heaven

The wind moves beneath heaven, reaching everywhere, connecting all. Like May Chang, Hexagram 44 embodies joyful encounter, networking, and the power of synergy. What meets with openness and clarity creates something greater than the sum of its parts.
