Winter Remedies

We're suffering one of the worst cold and flu seasons in years. Don't forget about the wonderful therapeutic benefits essential oils can provide. The herb lemongrass is a traditional ingredient in soup used against coughs and colds; we like our Lemongrass Essential Oil [Prima Fleur No. 145] for wiping countertops and handles (use a drop on a damp cloth). For inhalation and massage, Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil [No. 216] may help improve respiratory conditions such as cold, flu, sinus infection, and bronchitis. Wild Saro oil, also known as Mandravasarotra Essential Oil [No. 376], is uplifting with herbaceous, lemony, and fruity notes. It helps infectious states and is fabulous for inhalation for sinusitis, rhinitis, and asthma. In Malagasy, mandravasarotra means "what keeps evil away." Ravintsara Essential Oil [No. 163] is well known as both a defender against winter maladies and a soothing detoxifier at the end of a bout of flu or cold. Use it in diffusers, baths, chest rubs, and room sprays.

Prima Fleur Essential Oil: LEMON PEEL

There are various benefits of lemon peel essential oil as it is an excellent natural astringent, antiseptic, and bactericide which is of particular benefit to people with problem skin and to remove cellulite. The rubefacient and diuretic properties are of great value, as they balance the fluids in the cells and ensure optimum circulation.

Lemon peel further has the ability to stimulate the white corpuscles in the blood that defend the body and fight infection. It is also used to balance the pH of the skin by counteracting acidity on its surface, and acts as a very mild natural bleach or lightener on the skin, which enables it to brighten dull skin color and calm redness, as well as the irritation of an inflamed skin.

Prima Fleur Lemon Peel Essential Oil [No. 144], Citrus limon, is organic and cold-pressed in France. Prima Fleur Lemon Peel [No. 195] is cultivated and cold pressed in the United States.

Prima Fleur Essential Oil: PETITGRAIN

Prima Fleur’s Wild Forest Petitgrain Essential Oil [No. 242], from the leaf of Citrus Aurantifolia in Madagascar, is certified organic by Ecocert. It’s a wonderful citrus woody scent for blends and perfume. Originally, petitgrain, which means “small seed,” was distilled from the immature and small, round, green fruits of the citrus trees. Of course, if you distill the fruits then there will be no mature fruit to eat or preserve. So, eventually the distillation was limited to the leaves and small branchlets but the oil is still called petitgrain.
