Rock Rose essential oil (Labdanum) has been known since ancient times to give a sense of warmth and comfort and to be good for the soul.

Properties of  Labdanum oil

Labdanum essential oil has a sweet, warm, almost musky herbal scent and is yellow in colour.

Origin of  Labdanum oil

Labdanum has been used in salves and ointments since the middle ages. The gum was used to treat catarrh, dysentry and to encourage the menses. Much confusion ranges regarding the oil extracted from cistus ladaniferus. It seems to have many names: labdanum, rock rose, cistus and rose of sharon. Labdanum essential oil is sometimes called Rock Rose, which is sometimes thought to be the floral extraction of Helianthemum canadense – which is very costly. Cistus can also refer to the steam distillation of the leaves and twigs of cistus ladaniferus or to the oil produced from the leaves and flowers, sometimes through the enfleurage process, which would make the oil very expensive.

Rose of Sharon is used to refer to Labdanum essential oil. The flower referred to in the King James version of the bible, Song of Solomon 2:9: “I am the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valley” was translated in later editions to mean “I am the flower of the field”. The actual flower that the poet was referring to is not known, although Hibiscus syriacus is commonly known as ‘Rose of Sharon’ in the USA.
