Product Description
Introduction
Orris Root is an herb that comes from Iris plants. It has a wonderful violet like fragrance. While Orris root does have some historical medicinal uses it is generally used for its fragrance today. It is often used in perfumes and cosmetics and works to hold the fragrance longer. I would not recommend using it internally unless you are very familiar with this herb, as side effects are not well studied. Orris Root is also used to help one find love and to hold on to it.
