Common Usage

Respiratory & Immune Support

  • Gentle Expectorant: Highly valued for its ability to clear phlegm and mucus from the lungs and sinuses without the "intensity" of Eucalyptus.

  • Nighttime Cough Relief: Frequently used in a diffuser to soothe spasmodic coughs (like "smoker's cough" or dry nighttime tickles) to ensure a more restful sleep.

  • Seasonal Protection: Used to strengthen the body’s natural defenses during winter months or during high-pollen seasons.

Emotional & Spiritual Wellness

  • Resolving Conflict: Believed to help "wash away" feelings of anger, greed, or jealousy, replacing them with a sense of peace and harmony.

  • Sleep Quality: Its sedative properties help calm the nervous system, making it an excellent choice for those who struggle with insomnia due to stress.

  • Purifying the Spirit: Used in meditation to cleanse the "aura" and create a sacred, peaceful space for self-reflection.

Skincare & Beauty

  • Astringent for Oily Skin: Helps to tighten the skin and reduce excess oil production, making it a great addition to facial toners.

  • Anti-Aging Support: Used in serums to help revitalize dull, sagging skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

  • Acne Care: Its antiseptic nature helps clear up blemishes and prevents further breakouts when added to a daily cleanser.

Hormonal & Internal Balance

  • Thyroid & Endocrine Support: Widely used by aromatherapists to help balance the thyroid and ovaries, particularly for those dealing with hormonal imbalances.

  • Urinary Tract Health: Sometimes used in a diluted sitz bath or massage oil to support a healthy urinary system.

Blending note
  • A top-to-middle note that is sweeter, softer, and more "leafy" than the Red variety
  • Because it is so gentle and harmonizing, it is often used as a "bridge" oil to connect sharp medicinal scents with soft florals
