Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
The Rosalina tree yields yellow or creamy white flowers that look like small bottle brushes & dark green needle-like leaves. The leaves and twigs produce a unique oil in that has a high content of both Linalool and 1,8 cineole, similar to Spike Lavender but without the camphor. Rosalina is known as the "Lavender Tea Tree".
It is rapidly absorbed through the skin and nasal mucosa, so applying the oil topically and using it through steam inhalation is very effective. Try an inhaler with Spike Lavender and Rosalina for a sinus headache.
Its gentle lemony aroma makes it a good oil for diffusing into rooms, especially during cold and flu season. It has been suggested that 1,8 cineole has great properties for mood improvement.
Blend Rosalina with Lavender and Roman Chamomile in a lotion and apply to your chest and feet for a good nights sleep.

Non sensitizing, however oils high in linalool tend to oxidize faster than other oils. The oxidized oil can be skin sensitizing.
