Pure Afro Imphepho Essential Oil

It has small hairy silvery green leaves with yellow cluster flowers, hence its name derived from the Greek Helios (sun) and Chrysos (gold). It is an important plant in the local folklore where the smoke is used in ritual to invoke trance and to connect with the ancestors.
