 Aromatherapy Properties:
(Uses) Tagetes oil is best known for its ability to
keep insects away. It is also credited by aromatherapists as helping with
parasitic and fungal issues, while also being able to facilitate the flow of
mucous and loosening congestion. It has also been used on cuts, sores, and
bunions. Tagetes oil is very powerful oil and should be used sparingly and
only by those with experience working with essential oils. It should also be
avoided during pregnancy, not used on sensitive skin. Tagetes may also
cause photosensitivity.
