Jamarosa Natural Essential Oil
***Jamarosa Natural Essential Oil – History***
Jamarosa natural essential oil is a unique aromatic oil distilled from the Jamarosa plant, which is a natural hybrid of Cymbopogon nardus var. confertiflorus (Citronella Grass) and Cymbopogon jwarancusa (Khavi Grass), a group of aromatic grasses widely used for their essential oils.
Cymbopogon nardus var. confertiflorus, commonly called Citronella grass, is a tall, clump-forming, perennial grass with long, narrow, green leaves that have a strong citrus-like aroma. Originally from tropical Asia, especially India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. Now cultivated worldwide in warm climates. The leaves and stems are steam-distilled to produce citronella essential oil, widely used in insect repellents, aromatherapy, and cosmetics.
Cymbopogon jwarancusa is an aromatic perennial that thrives primarily in the subtropical biome. Originating from India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, where it was used for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive benefits. This plant is commonly known by several names, depending on its region and usage. Some of its well-known names include, Jwarancusa Oil (derived from the botanical name), Khavi Grass Oil (traditional name in South Asia), Camel Grass Oil (refers to its natural habitat in arid regions), Rus Khavi Oil (a regional name in India and Pakistan), Wild Lemongrass Oil (due to its similarity to lemongrass in aroma and composition), Ginger Grass Oil (sometimes confused with Cymbopogon martini var. sofia, but has a different chemical profile).
The leaves and stem are steam-distilled to produce Cymbopogon jwarancusa essential oil, an aromatic oil valued for its medicinal, insect-repellent, and aromatic properties. Cymbopogon jwarancusa essential oil is often marketed under Natural Citral Oil (because of its high citral content) and Desert Lemongrass Oil (used in perfumery and insect repellents) in essential oil industries, perfumery, herbal medicine, and aromatherapy.
The hybridisation of Cymbopogon nardus var. confertiflorus and Cymbopogon jwarancusa led to the creation of jamarosa grass, cultivated primarily for its high Geraniol content. This process was aimed at enhancing the aromatic qualities, combining the rosy, citrusy scent of nardus with the woody, earthy undertones of jwarancusa. The oil was soon recognised for its perfume-like fragrance, making it a cost-effective alternative to rose and geranium oils in perfumery.
