Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
Iary has been traditionally used by the local people of Madagascar to repel insects. The plant is also used to relieve itching.
We have found this oil to be an excellent support oil for the respiratory system. It has a wonderful, warm, clean aroma and blends great with Saro and all the Pine, Spruce and Fir oils. We use it in the diffuser all through the winter.
Iary helps to restore vitality to the body, is healing for the skin, and especially useful for the lungs and sinuses. Use it to reduce swelling, get rid of infections, reduce the pain and inflammation of joint issues and muscle pain.
