Xiang Mao: A Mountain’s Gift of Enlightenment

In the lush mountain slopes of southeastern Taiwan, a remarkable grass known as Xiang Mao, or “red lemongrass,” flourishes. This rapid-growing, aromatic clump grass can reach impressive heights of up to 6 feet. Yet, its significance goes far beyond its size, as it holds the key to an exceptional organic essential oil, Young Living’s Xiang Mao essential oil.

This aromatic treasure is the result of a beautiful partnership between the Paiwan aboriginal tribe, fondly referred to as “Big Bird,” and Dr. Ginn Le of the Young Living partner farm in Taiwan. These dedicated communities have joined hands to cultivate and distill the essence of Xiang Mao. Known as “aromatic grass for rapid enlightenment,” Xiang Mao essential oil captures the very spirit of this remarkable plant.

Traditionally, Xiang Mao was a valued part of households, celebrated for its role in freshening the air. Its enchanting aroma was believed to illuminate the mind and rejuvenate the skin. In addition, it was embraced for its soothing properties, setting the stage for a peaceful and tranquil environment.

In the heart of Taiwan’s mountainous landscapes, Xiang Mao is more than just a plant; it’s a source of enlightenment, a testament to the incredible harmony between nature and tradition. This essential oil encapsulates the rich heritage and the natural wonders of the region, making it a truly extraordinary gift.
