          Spicy and sweet, Tarragon’s spicy aroma combines notes of anise and basil. Its relaxing scent can help dissolve emotional and physical tension—especially in muscles.  Due to its potent natural components (methyl chavicol), tarragon oil should be well diluted at 0.2% in topical blends (5 or 6 drops per 4 oz of carrier), and only used for short periods of acute need. Our Tarragon essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of herbs grown in the countryside of Thailand.

          Because of the High level of methyl chavicol many aroma therapists do not use Tarragon. It’s more popular in fragrancing or soaps. But if you wish to use in aromatherapy keep the inclusion rate low and it may be beneficial to blend with essential oils high in linalool or eugenol to help offset the negative effects like; Ho Wood, Rosewood, Coriander, Lavender, Cinnamon Leaf or Clove.
