Body-FeedbackPhysical benefits of palmarosa essential oil
Palmarosa essential oil belongs to the same Indian grass family of essential oils as lemongrass, citronella, and vetiver, all of which contain potent antimicrobial properties. Palmarosa is sometimes referred to as Turkish rose because of the floral aroma and beneficial properties to the skin are a milder counterpart to the traditional, and much more expensive rose essential oil.
Palmarosa is one of the most beneficial oils to soothe damaged and dry skin while balancing the skin tone. Palmarosa oil supports healthy skin and intestinal flora, aiding in digestion and promoting beauty from the inside out. In addition to benefiting aging skin and balancing the complexion, studies have shown this oil can address skin fungal and bacterial overgrowth. Adding a few drops of this oil to an organic moisturizer or body lotion is an easy way to enhance your skincare routine.*
The Indian grass family of essential oils is the strongest in supporting your healthy bacterial flora that makes up the majority of the immune system in the body. The nutrients in these oils are similar to pre-biotics that help your feed your healthy flora in the colon. Palmarosa is gentle on the skin and well tolerated with long-term use. Diluting this essential oil with an organic lotion and applying to the lower abdomen or applying a few drops undiluted to the soles of the feet a few times a week will support your skin and your immune system.*
