High John the Conqueror Oil

High John the Conqueror (Ipomoea jalapa) roots are carried as a talisman to increase one’s luck at games of chance, to attract money, and to increase a man’s sexual power. Originally, High John the Conqueror was used by enslaved black people to protect them from slave owners and to evade detection while escaping the south. It’s arguable that it wasn’t always Ipomoea jalapa and different plants were used depending on the community. There is much to say about High John the Conqueror Root and it truly deserves reverence. Smelling of spicy woods and containing the traditional cassia oil in the blend, we don’t recommend using this oil as some books might suggest i.e. applying to the skin. Use with caution.
