doTERRA Celery Seed
Herbaceous & Spicy
Celery seeds
Botanical name: Apium graveolens
Country of origin: India
Application: aromatic, topical, internal
Celery was already used by the Chinese in the 5th century and is now widely used in Indian Ayurvedic practices. Celery from conventional grocery stores doesn't look like celery from local farmers' markets.
The celery plant grows up to two meters tall, is bright green, and radiates life. Celery has a complex, robust, sweet, and spicy aroma. The plant takes two years to fully mature and produce its small, gray-green to brown fruits.
The seeds are the primary source of the essential oil. Limonene, the dominant component, places celery seed oil in the same category as the refreshing citrus peel and pine needle oils.
Aromatic description
Celery seed essential oil has a spicy and earthy aroma with a slightly sweet note. It is reminiscent of the scent of celery, but more intense and concentrated than the smell of the fresh celery plant.

Celery Seed Fun Facts
In ancient times, celery leaves were often woven into the victory wreaths of athletes. These wreaths, awarded at various sporting competitions, consisted of different plant materials, each with specific symbolic meanings.
Use of celery in ancient victory wreaths:
Nemean Games: At the Nemean Games, held in honor of Zeus, the victors originally received a wreath of celery leaves. This custom emphasized the association of celery with triumph and success.
Isthmian Games: Similar to the Nemean Games, the victors of the Isthmian Games, held in honor of Poseidon, were also awarded wreaths of celery. Later, this custom was replaced by wreaths of pine needles.
Symbolism of celery in antiquity:
Celery had a dual symbolism in the ancient world:
Symbol of victory: As mentioned above, celery wreaths were awarded to the winners of certain games, which associated celery with success and triumph.
A symbol of mourning: At the same time, celery was also associated with death and mourning. Among the ancient Greeks, it was customary to adorn the dead with celery wreaths, illustrating celery's transition from a symbol of victory to one of mourning.
The synergy between essential oils and energy work
Essential oils are known not only for their pleasant fragrances but also for their ability to work on a subtle level . They possess a high energetic frequency that can influence the body's energy system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and harmonize the vibrations, which is crucial in many energy-based practices.
When working with energy centers , such as the chakras, essential oils act as amplifiers by stimulating specific vibrations and supporting the flow of energy. They can help open energy pathways and balance vibrations at a higher level, promoting deeper harmony between body and mind.
The use of essential oils in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising energy levels and strengthening the connection to the higher self . The vibrations of essential oils support the natural flow of energy and help achieve a deeper spiritual opening. Through their specific influence on the energetic body, they promote the release of negative or stagnant energies that could block the natural flow.
Essential oils also help promote mental clarity and stabilize emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They facilitate the achievement of focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the subtle energy levels of the body.
How do you use essential oils in energy work?
To use essential oils in energy work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation , where you add a few drops of the oil to a diffuser or simply breathe in directly from the bottle. This helps to align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balancing.
You can also use essential oils topically by diluting them with a carrier oil and applying them to specific areas of the body, such as the wrists, neck, chest, or along the energy centers (chakras), to enhance their energetic effect. This is particularly helpful during chakra work or Reiki sessions, as it supports the flow of energy by harmonizing the oil's vibrations with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen your energy work. And don't forget: your intention plays a vital role in your energy work with essential oils.
