Abtina oil delivers a strong neutral quality when introduced to magical work. It moves energy towards a stable middle, away from the poles and is contusive to harmony. This is likely why it is primarily promoted as an oil for working with the elemental qualities in combination. The neutralizing impact also makes it a reliable aid for clearing & banishing and protection work. This product may be a 20th century innovation or revival from neo-Pagan lore and practice, as it is not clearly tied to any culture, nor does it have a clear, historical context that I can find. It is nonetheless an efficacious component that has served me well.
