Celery Seed Essential Oil

Botanical name

Apium graveolens

Extraction Method

Steam distillation of the seeds

Raw Material Origin

India

Aromatic Note

Sharp. Green. A deep, herbal aroma with a salty, almost spicy aftertone.

This scent doesn’t rise—it descends. It leads downward to what was forgotten, hidden, or buried. It’s the scent of heavy truth—one that liberates through recognition.

What the scent brings to light in the subconscious

The desire to receive resources without giving.

Celery seed oil reveals unconscious patterns where pain becomes a strategy—used to isolate, manipulate, or justify disconnection. It shows how suffering can turn into currency. It highlights when our need for support contradicts the willingness to be open and reciprocal.

Emotional & Psychological Impact

Works deeply with stored bodily pain and trauma.

This oil helps recognize loops of internal suffering, rooted in unconscious coping strategies. It calms inner chaos, restores clarity, and encourages receiving support without shame or hidden agenda. It empowers a healing path based on maturity, not dependency.

Cultural Roots & Traditional Use

Celery has been mentioned in ancient Greek and Roman texts as a cleansing plant. The seeds were used to support liver function, reduce water retention, and release emotional heaviness. In Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, this oil grounds and balances during emotional storms.

Blend Compatibility

Blends well with carrot seed, coriander, parsley, fennel, frankincense, sage, ginger, and bergamot.
