Pain and Inflammation Relief: It is widely used in massage oils and creams to soothe minor muscular aches, pains, sprains, and painful joints (such as those related to arthritis or rheumatism). The methyl salicylate helps inhibit inflammation and relieve muscle tension by stimulating local blood flow.
Astringent and Antiseptic Properties: The oil helps protect the skin from bacterial and fungal infections, such as ringworm and eczema. Its astringent qualities can also help tone and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Detoxification and Diuretic: It is considered a purifying and stimulating oil that encourages the body's detoxification processes by stimulating lymphatic flow and promoting healthy urination and perspiration. This may help flush out toxins like uric acid from the blood.
Respiratory Support: When used in aromatherapy or inhalations, its crisp, minty aroma can help clear congestion, open airways, and soothe coughs and other mild respiratory issues.
Mood and Stress Relief: The invigorating and uplifting scent can help reduce feelings of stress, fatigue, depression, and anxiety, promoting a sense of fresh starts and mental clarity.
Hair and Scalp Health: The oil can be used in hair rinses to improve scalp health, help prevent dandruff, and strengthen hair.
