Ledum Essential Oil: Overview
Ledum essential oil, derived from Rhododendron groenlandicum (formerly Ledum groenlandicum), belongs to the Ericaceae family and is native to North America. It has a fresh, herbal, and slightly woody aroma. Traditionally used by Indigenous communities for medicinal purposes, Ledum oil is valued for its detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It supports liver function, respiratory health, and immune balance. In aromatherapy, it promotes relaxation and emotional well-being. Due to its potency, it is often diluted before topical use. Sustainable harvesting is crucial to preserving this unique plant, which thrives in cold, wet environments such as bogs and tundras.
