The invention belongs to the technical field of Chinese 
medicine, and particularly relates to 
essential oil for activating blood and dredging collaterals. The 
essential oil comprises, by weight, 40-90 parts of jizhou 
mugwort leaf essential oilx, 30-70 parts of rhizoma 
corydalis essential oil, 36-76 parts of perilla leaf essential oil, 20-87 parts of garden 
balsam stem essential oil, 40-68 parts of 
carthamus tinctorius essential oil, 42-77 parts of chuanxiong 
rhizome essential oil and 30-75 parts of suberect 
spatholobus stem essential oil. The 
Chinese herbs are used as raw materials, an oxidation-resistant extracting solution is adopted for extracting the essential oil, and then all the essential oil is mixed according to a proportion to obtain the essential oil. The essential oil for activating blood and dredging collaterals has the remarkable effects that the 
aggregation rate of platelets is remarkably decreased, and 
blood viscosity and the 
wet weight of 
thrombus are remarkably reduced, and the effect of activating blood and dredging collaterals is remarkable; in the essential oil for activating blood and dredging collaterals, the chuanxiong 
rhizome essential oil and suberect 
spatholobus stem essential oil have a synergistic effect. The oxidation-resistant extracting solution is adopted for extracting the essential oil, so that the extracting rate of essential oil components is increased.
