A wonderful citrus aroma, which uplifts, cleanses and tones. May Chang is an excellent room deodoriser and insect repellent use 5 or 6 drops in a traditional candle burner, Aroma-Stone or Aroma-Stream.
Oil of May Chang is a comparatively new essential oil to the West. It is steam-distilled from the pepper-shaped fruits (Cubeba) of this tropical tree. The strong lemon odour of the main constituent (Citral - 75%) dominates and hence the oil resembles Lemongrass, although it has a rounder and more fruity aroma. While the synonym Litsea Citrata is often given for May Chang, Litsea Citrata is a related species with a lower Citral content.

Like Lemongrass, May Chang is used for the isolation of Citral for lemon flavours and for the production of several perfumery materials, as well as Vitamin A.
