Private Label White Magnolia Organic Aromatherapy 100% Pure Natural Plant Basic Concentrated Perfume Essential Oils Bulk

Essential oils are volatile, active oils extracted from various parts of aromatic plants. These oils are used in aromatherapy to support health and well-being. These days, people around the world are choosing natural and organic oil products rather than relying on synthetic or pharmaceutical alternatives, and magnolia essential oil is becoming increasingly popular.

Magnolia essential oil is known for its numerous health and relaxation benefits. It has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where the plant originates.

The magnolia was named by the famous Swedish botanist Carl Linneaus in 1737 in honor of the French botanist, Pierre Magnol (1638-1715). Magnolias are, however, one of the most primitive plants in evolutionary history, and fossil records show that magnolias were present in Europe, North America and Asia over 100 million years ago.

Today, magnolias are indigenous only to southern China and the southern US.

The earliest western record of Magnolias in cultivation is found in Aztec history where there are illustrations of what we now know are the rare Magnolia dealbata. This plant survives only in a few places in the wild, and, although climate change is largely to blame, the Aztecs cut the flowers for festivals, and this prevented the plants from seeding. The plant was found by a Spanish explorer called Hernandez in 1651.

There are about 80 species of Magnolia, of which about half are tropical. In their native countries, magnolia trees can grow up to 80 feet tall and 40 feet wide. They bloom in spring, with the flowers reaching their peak in summer.

The petals are traditionally hand-picked, and harvesters have to use ladders or scaffolds to reach the prized flowers. Other names for magnolia include white jade orchid, white champaca and white sandalwood.

Interestingly, the closest genetic relation to the magnolia is the buttercup.
