Nag Champa

[white_raven]

Hi, I used to order Nag Champa oil at a good price to make my incense and candles, but have recently converted to an all-natural approach and have switched to more cosmetic products. Anyway, the oil I was using is synthetic, and I was wondering if anyone knows where to buy Nag flowers of which I could produce an infusion.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

well,

i don't know where to buy actual "flowers", but maybe you could just open a champa sachet cuz the stuff inside seems to be ground flowers



cheers, js

nag champa is produced from the nag flower; the stuff i've been using is synthetic and it's nauseating--not to mention impossible to make into candles, much less lotions and in carrier oils.

i might try that thing with the sachet if i can get it for a fair price. thanks.

Nag Champa is the flower of a species of Magnolia called in Latin - Michelia champaca. Here's lousy photo -

These trees get to 100 feet and smell divine, as you know. I always wanted one.

My dad owns a candle shop and I make the candles. We make Nag Champa using Soy and all natural oils. If you're interested I could get you some for farely cheap. Let me know
