✨️Benzoin
This is one of my favorite essential oils with its warm vanilla/ root beer scent.
✨️
✨️Particularly useful for when we have a cold, flu, coughs, sore throat, or bronchitis.
✨️
✨️ It gets things moving, circulation, and mucus.
✨️
✨️Great for easing stress and anxiety or for those times when we feel sad.
✨️
✨️Dry cracked skin, itchy red chapped skin.
✨️
✨️ Benzoin is best known as Friars Balsam & has been used for years by ballet dancers to prevent and heal cracked toes.
✨️
✨️Being a resin, it is healing for wounds just as it does for the tree, repairing and protecting.
✨️
✨️ Anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti- rheumatic.
✨️There is a lot to love about this oil 💛
✨️
✨️Warm the bottle up in hot water, or you may stuggle to get it to move out of the bottle . It is thick.
✨️
✨️ Put 5 drops of Benzoin essential oil in 10 ml of your favorite carrier oil and apply where needed.
💛 I love to drop some on my beeswax or soy candles, and the warm scent is released as the wax melts
