Palmarosa is probably best known for its valuable roll in skincare, as it helps to hydrate and stimulate the skin’s cellular regeneration (cytophylactic). Keeping this in mind, it may, with regular use, help to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and crepey skin. It also has the power to help the skin in balancing the production of sebum. Its antiseptic properties make it useful for acne, some forms of dermatitis and even some minor skin irritations.

Palmarosa oil has a strong reputation for its powerful, wide spectrum, bactericide capabilities. It has been tested on Escherichia Coli bacteria and was found to kill it in 5 minutes!

Palmarosa has been used in the treatment of anorexia to help stimulate the appetite and help to improve sluggish digestion (digestive stimulant).

Palmarosa has a soothing and mildly strengthening effect to the mind. It is also an effective yet gentle antiseptic in the treatment of problem skin.

Palmarosa has a soft, sweet floral scent and is often diffused to freshen up and sanitize the air. It is also considered to be an excellent skin-balancing oil for all skin types, much like Neroli essential oil. It is a marvelous oil for supporting digestive health.

Palmarosa is also viewed as helpful in uplifting and steadying the emotions. Palmarosa is also a wonderful oil to consider pulling out of the oil box when seasonal illness strikes.

It blends well with bergamot, cedarwood virginian, geranium egyptian, ginger root CO2, lemon, lemongrass, neroli, patchouli, peppermint, petitgrain, rose absolute, and sandalwood australian.
