Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
The aroma is amazing. When smelled directly from the bottle, it is bold. However, when blended in a carrier it is softened & smells woodsy with a hint of spice.
We use it in blends for allergies and sinus or lung congestion. It has a beautiful vibrant aroma that reminds us of being in a mysterious pine forest.
Useful for muscular and rheumatoid arthritis pain relief.
