Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions

Another great use is to reduce spastic coughing, and as an expectorant for a cold or the flu. Add it to your typical respiratory blends with oils such as Pine, Eucalyptus, Ravintsara and Frankincense. Try using Rock Rose in blends for arthritis and muscle/joint pain—it can be deeply effective for reducing inflammation.

Used to support the adrenal glands, immune system and to balance the menstrual cycle (anti-spasmodic). Used emotionally for insomnia and fear, especially when they are related.

The Moroccan oil differers from the Spain oil in the GC report and aroma.
