Aromatherapy Properties:
(Uses) Cooling,
analgesic, antispasmodic, anesthetic, decongestant, emmenagogue,
expectorant, febrifuge, insecticide and stimulant. Should be kept away from
eyes, likely to irritate skin and mucous membranes. Best avoided by pregnant
women and nursing mothers as it may discourage flow of milk. May antidote
homeopathic remedies. Helps people become clear headed and refreshes the
spirits. Helpful for people who are unable to concentrate or who have mental
fatigue. Said to relieve states of anger, hysteria and nervous trembling,
excellent for depression. On the body, it has a dual action: cooling when
hot and warming when cold. As a remedy for colds, it halts mucous and fevers
and encourages perspiration. Extremely important for its effect on the
digestive system (1 drop on a sugar cube or on a teaspoon of honey). Has a
slightly anesthetic effect on stomach muscles. Good for travel sickness,
vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, colic, nausea and to keep drivers alert
while on the road. Its cooling and pain relieving action seems to ease
headaches, migraines and toothaches. Used in liniments for the relief of
muscle pain, lumbago, bruises, joint pain and insect bites. Can be used to
relieve any kind of skin irritation or itching but should be used in a
dilution of 1% or less or the irritation will be made worse. Not much liked
by insects and vermin. |
