Khella: A Powerful Antispasmodic
Khella
(Ammi visnaga) is best known in aromatherapy for its incredible antispasmodic and dilating properties. The oil has an unusual composition and elegant fragrance arising from its eclectic mix of esters (such as benzyl isovalerate) and coumarins (marmesin and the chromones khellin and visnagin).
