## About this gift

Two sizes are on offer, 10ml and 50ml, of turmeric essential oil from the plant Curcuma longa. A turmeric oil brings something different to an essential oil collection, for anyone who enjoys warm, spicy notes.

For the 10ml oil, the details are given in full. It is steam distilled from the rhizome, the underground stem of the plant that is often called the root. Steam distillation means steam is passed through the plant to carry its oil out. Its scent is described as warm, spicy, earthy and woody. The 50ml size comes from the 50ml Professional Essential Oils range.

In India, turmeric root has a long history in traditional Ayurvedic practice, and that history has shaped how turmeric is known today. With the 10ml oil's warm, earthy character, it is a rich and grounded scent to add to your shelf of oils.
