Ambrette Seed Oil

Ambrette Seed Oil (Abelmoschus Moschatus) is an aromatic and medicinal plant in the Malvaceae family, which is native to India.

The seeds have a sweet, flowery, heavy fragrance similar to that of musk.

The musk was once frequently used as a substitute for animal musk; however this use is now mostly replaced by various synthetic musks due to costs.

Different parts of the plant have uses in traditional and complementary medicine, not all of which have been scientifically proven.

It is used externally to relieve spasms of the digestive tract, cramp, poor circulation and aching joints.

It is considered an insecticide and an aphrodisiac.

Tobacco is sometimes flavoured with its flowers.
