Zdravets is an herb that has long been used in Bulgaria and other parts of the world for its medicinal properties. Its name translates to "bringer of health," and it's believed to offer numerous health benefits. Zdravets essential oil contains flavonoids that may help to lower blood pressure in people with hypertension, as well as stabilize blood sugar levels. It's also claimed to have other benefits, such as relieving insomnia and promoting better sleep.

Studies conducted in Britain suggest that Zdravets oil can help to heal women's reproductive systems and alleviate menopausal symptoms when inhaled. The oil is also believed to have antispasmodic, antiseptic, and anti-allergenic properties, as well as a capillary strengthening effect.

In Bulgarian folklore, Zdravets is known as a symbol of good health and fortune. It's common for Bulgarians to keep Zdravets in their homes as a way of promoting well-being, and guests are often presented with a bundle of the herb tied with a red ribbon as a sign of good health.

Our current batch of Zdravets oil has been analyzed using GC-MS and is rich in sesquiterpenes, with over 55% germacrone. This essential oil can crystallize at room temperature, but it can be liquefied with a warm bath or Bain-marie. Once blended with a carrier oil or other essential oils, Zdravets will remain a mobile liquid, ready for use.

Zdravets essential oil is rare and highly valued among essential oil enthusiasts due to its excellent fixative qualities in perfumery. It has a woody, spicy, and herbaceous aroma with subtle floral notes, and it blends well with a wide range of other aromatic oils. It's often used to enhance Chypres, Fougeres, and oriental perfumes, making them more well-rounded, longer-lasting, and robust.

Zdravets essential oil is also used in skincare products, particularly for its ability to address hyperpigmentation. Our Bulgarian distiller claims that Zdravets is highly valued for its bleaching properties and its effects in clearing pigmentation spots on the skin, including around the eye area. It's also used in aromatherapy, spa treatments, and wellness programs for its relaxing and rejuvenating effects. Some people believe that Zdravets oil can help lower blood pressure, alleviate PMT and menopausal symptoms, stimulate the blood vessels, and relieve insomnia and fatigue. Zdravets is a plant that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. It is known for its strong aphrodisiac qualities and is often used to promote sexual health and vitality. In addition to its aphrodisiac properties, Zdravets is also used with hypertension, as it is claimed to help lower blood pressure. It is also known to have anti-catarrhal and anti-infectious properties, making it beneficial for conditions of respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

Zdravets is a natural carminative, which means that it helps to alleviate digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and cramping. It is also a febrifuge, meaning that it helps to reduce fever and promote sweating, which can be helpful in treating colds and flu.

Moreover, Zdravets has been found to have antidepressant and sedative properties, making it a useful and natural choice for anxiety, stress, and insomnia.

Overall, Zdravets is a versatile and beneficial plant that offers numerous health benefits. Whether you are looking to enhance your sexual health, help with clearing up a respiratory infection, or alleviate digestive issues, Zdravets is a natural and effective option to consider.

The exact origin of the plant is unknown, but it's found primarily in the more temperate zones of the northern hemisphere, mainly on the Balkan peninsula. It grows well in shaded, darker areas in almost all Bulgarian mountains, between 300 to 3000 meters above sea level. Although Zdravets essential oil is relatively expensive due to the large volume of raw material required to distill a small quantity of essential oil, its rarity, and unique properties make it a valuable addition to any collection.

It's important to note that Zdravets should not be confused with geranium oils from the Pelargonium botanical family. These two oils have distinctly different aromas and properties.

Deep, dedicated, and wild

This is complex, opening with some green vetiver and leather or cypress top notes, then settling down to something softer and more floral, like baked pine needles and rugosa roses, which is elegant in a pastoral way, and quite persistent. This is feminine, yes, but not like Venus: more thoughtful or reclusive, still but deep, dedicated, and wild in the sense of being firmly within nature. It is refined yet direct, knows exactly what it wants. And by extension it seems to ask 'What do you want?' Which makes it an interesting experience, not just an amazingly unique smell.

Beautiful!

This is a beautiful ingredient! Slightly herby, a bit green, floral with a rosy edge. It's geranium, yes, but so much more "refined". I can't wait to incorporate this into one of my perfumes.

true geranium

The true geranium, eminently superior to common-name Pelargonium. Its pensive, vigilant, abidingly attuned quietude with a stalwart, assertive backbone of steely resolve even while in restive repose strikes me as astral adornment befitting Athena. It evokes craggy, austere Mediterranean highlands imbued with hints of far-distant alpine forests' enchanted breath having bequeathed a vivaciously piqued, sweetly evergreen spiced vitality, at once aridly earthy and ephemerally but stridently aetheric, enthrallingly comforting and arrestingly mysterious in its docile ferocity. Coniferous notes are its most tenacious, but its gentler, more terrestrial overall character invites the company of warmer, friendlier notes such as blood orange and Copaiba balsam, or bergamot mint and oakmoss, to my nose. Uncommon, versatile, and abounding in subtleties, Zdravetz is not to be missed!
