Anecdotal Information: One of the most favorite essential oils due to its fragrance and its ability to evoke a very relaxing change upon smelling. Useful for high blood pressure, depression, insomnia, tension, oily skin and in suntan blends. It is also a well-known attractant and useful in many synergies, blends and products. Throughout the years while observing this essential oil’s ability to induce relaxation upon smelling we began to ask, “What other synthetic chemical aromas (fumes) do we smell in our environments that could cause reverse symptoms such as increase in hearts rates, increase in blood pressure, panic attacks and more?” This was in the early 1990s. That was when we began to look at and document illnesses caused by chemicals in the air we breathe and began to offer options for better in-door health. That began the formation of PB-CAM’s Protocols of Practice.
Caution: Should not be used by anyone with low blood pressure.
