Perhaps this explains why it is a common fragrance in men's colognes and aftershaves. Juniper Berry oil has a long history of use in massage therapy to soothe back, joint and muscle discomforts. The penetrating essence enhances the breathing passages and supports healthy respiratory function. Aromatherapists suggest using Juniper's uplifting scent to ease tension and stress, as well as to clear the thoughts. Juniper is an evergreen shrub native to Europe, North Africa, Canada and Northern Asia. Just about every part of this versatile plant has been utilized. The berries serve as a popular flavoring for gin, the stems and leaves are a traditional Native American remedy for joint health. At one time, the twigs of Juniper were burned in French hospitals to help purify the air. Wintergreen Oil Gaultheria Procumbens Wintergreen is a North American evergreen shrub bearing bright red berry- like fruits. Historically, Wintergreen was highly regarded as a remedy by Native Americans. Native Americans considered Wintergreen to be a popular beverage tea, and also employed its use for minor aches, and to promote breathing. The essential oil distilled from the crushed leaves has a characteristic refreshing, sweet, mint- like aroma. It is readily absorbed by the skin, and is very warm and soothing. The primarily constituent of Wintergreen is Methyl Salicylate, the active ingredient in numerous over-the- counter liniments and ointments targeting relief of pain due to arthritis, backache, overworked muscles and sore joints. Wintergreen essential oil imparts a refreshing, uplifting scent that revitalizes the senses. NOTE: Wintergreen is a potent essential oil that should be diluted before use, used with great care, and kept out of the reach of children. The Olbas Oil formula contains only a very small amount of Wintergreen oil (less than 4%). Clove Oil Caryophyllus Aromaticus Clove bud oil is steam distilled from the bud of the plant. The highly prized essential oil from the spicy Clove buds has the well-earned reputation for soothing minor joint discomforts and promoting respiratory, digestive and dental health. The familiar warm, sweet spicy aroma is a comforting aromatherapy fragrance. It supports memory function and alleviates mental fatigue.The Clove tree grows up to 40 feet high. It is an evergreen widely cultivated in Madagascar, the Molucca Islands, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The spice was introduced into Europe around the 4th century. Clove buds and its oil continue to be a precious commodity for perfumes, cosmetics and dental preparations. The main oil-producing countries are Madagascar and Indonesia. www.AbbysHealthFood.com CLICK: www.AbbysHealthFood.com BROWSE OUR WEBSITE Where you will find: Recipes, Health Prac oners, News & Events, Specials.
