Blumea (Wormwood Leaf)
Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, insect repellent, wound healing, expectorant
Blumea oil, also known as Ainaxiang oil in Chinese traditional medicine, is steam-distilled from the fresh leaves and young branches of Blumea balsamifera, a robust aromatic shrub in the Asteraceae family native to Southeast Asia and southern China. The plant has been used for centuries in Miao and Dai ethnic medicine for treating respiratory conditions, skin infections, and as a natural insect repellent. Our Blumea oil is produced from wild-crafted and semi-cultivated plants in Guizhou Province, harvested before flowering when the volatile oil content is at its peak. The oil is characterized by a complex profile rich in borneol, camphor, and blumealactone. Fresure provides batch-certified Blumea oil suitable for pharmaceutical topical preparations, traditional medicine products, and natural repellent formulations.

Blumealactone, borneol (10-25%), camphor (5-15%), linalool, limonene, beta-caryophyllene
Active ingredient in topical anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial preparations. Used in traditional Miao medicine formulations for wound healing, burns, and skin infections. The borneol content provides analgesic and cooling properties similar to camphor-based preparations.
Natural mosquito and insect repellent agent. Blumea oil has demonstrated significant repellency against Aedes aegypti and other disease-carrying mosquitoes. Used in natural spray formulations and outdoor candles.
Expectorant and decongestant properties make it suitable for chest rubs, inhalation blends, and steam preparations for colds, coughs, and sinus congestion. The borneol-camphor combination provides effective respiratory relief.
Antimicrobial activity supports use in natural deodorants, foot sprays, and antifungal formulations. The refreshing, slightly medicinal aroma provides a distinctive profile in functional personal care products.
