How to Store Verbena Essential Oil and the Benefits and Effects of Lemon Verbena
How should verbena essential oil be stored? What are the benefits of lemon verbena? Let's take a look together.
It is recommended to store the essential oil in a small wooden box. The wood material not only preserves the components and aroma of the essential oil, but also, through the dialogue between plants (scent transmission), brings out the finest qualities of the essential oil even more perfectly!
1. Essential oils should be placed in a cool place
Essential oils must avoid contact with sunlight and strong light. Sunlight very easily causes essential oils to deteriorate, so do not put essential oils in places exposed to direct sunlight, and do not leave essential oils exposed under lighting; the temperature and intensity of lighting may also cause essential oils to deteriorate.
2. Essential oils should avoid high temperatures
Besides being "afraid of light," essential oils are also "afraid of heat," so high temperatures are also a taboo for essential oils. Usually, be sure not to put essential oils in high-temperature places, and keep them away from heat, such as in a bathroom. It is recommended to store essential oils in a dry, cool place, and they should not be too close to electrical appliances, as this will only make your essential oils no longer effective.
3. Essential oils should not be put in the refrigerator either
Essential oils should avoid high temperatures, so many people think of putting them in the refrigerator, but in fact this is also wrong. The storage temperature for essential oils is room temperature 18-30 degrees, and the optimal temperature is about 25 degrees. Therefore, the low temperature of the refrigerator is not suitable for storing essential oils, and if you use essential oils frequently, this temperature difference will accelerate the decline in essential oil quality.
