The beautiful balance between monoterpenes (alpha-pinene) and cineole guarantees a respiratory EO of excellent tolerance, comparable to a hyssop or a green myrtle. The product will work beautifully in a diffuser.
In vitro, it has demonstrated a similar action to tea tree or oregano EO on bacterial strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.
It can also be used against candidiasis.
Its immunostimulant potential is of course considerable. From the above observations, it would have a perfect place in any mixture, whatever the chosen interface, to complement, if not totally replace, tea tree EO.
Cosmetically, it occupies the same niche as tea tree or palmarosa EO. One should consider using this pleasant smelling EO as an active ingredient in a deodorant.
