versatile healing properties. Nervous System: It can be used for insomnia and sleep related disorders especially when connected to tension, stress or shock. For migraine/headaches use in a cold compress or place a few drops in boiling water and inhale. For PMT dilute in a base oil and massage onto stomach. Skin Care: For burns apply to skin for treating scalds, sunburn, bruises, athletes foot, boils, spots etc. Respiratory System: For asthma, bronchitis, catarrh and throat infections massage the oil gently onto throat or chest, use a few drops in the bath or as a steam inhalation. Muscles and Joints: Mix a few drops with a base oil and massage into area where you are experiencing pain.
