Celery Seed oil

Whatsapp Order

Celery Seed Oil is a concentrated essential oil obtained by steam distillation from the dried seeds of the Apium graveolens plant. It features a warm, spicy, earthy aroma with slightly bitter undertones and is rich in compounds like limonene, sedanolide, and selinene. Traditionally used in natural medicine for its anti-inflammatory, digestive, and diuretic properties, Celery Seed Oil is also increasingly recognized in cosmetic, aromatherapy, and flavoring applications. It is distinct from celery leaf oil, carrying a denser, more resinous aromatic profile and a stronger pharmacological potency.
