Lindera neesiana Kurz, commonly known as Sil timur in Nepal, is a deciduous tree from the Lauraceae family, growing up to 5 meters in height. This aromatic plant produces edible fruits and is widely used in traditional herbal medicine. It is known for its effectiveness in treating diarrhea, tooth pain, headaches, and gastric disorders, and is also valued for its stimulant properties. The leaves are elliptical to lanceolate, with a shiny green petiole when young, turning brown as they mature. The green-yellow scented flowers bloom from March to April, while the fruits appear from May to August. Sil timur thrives in the foothills and mid-altitude regions of Nepal, specifically at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 2,700 meters, often found at the edges of cultivable lands. We source Sil timur from the Eastern Himalayan and Central regions. The harvesting season for Sil timur spans from July to September.

Testimonials

Yolanda Cathcart

I have been a long time consumer of Annapurna Aroma essential oils.  I have purchased and loved the quality and integrity of the oils.  I have personally used Lemongrass, French basil, Corn-mint and Blue Chamomile.  On an energetic level the oils provide me with energy, clarity and peace of mind.  The aroma of the oils immediately makes me think of purity.  The oils have always been consistent and never appeared to smell off or oxidized.  As a company, I love the transparency and the ability to communicate easily.  Every question that I ever presented to the company was addressed in a timely manner.  May this company continue to move in a positive direction and may their oils help those that are in need of emotional support and wellbeing.

“I’ve been working with Prasun Satyal for many years now originally buying their beautiful blue chamomile! I’ve purchased many other oils from them over the years because their company is trustworthy and they care about the quality of their oils.”
