Health Benefits and uses of Boronia

• Antidepressant : The magical fragrance of the Boronia oil is similar to that of Rose oil, which deeply affects emotion and helps center the mind.
• Relaxation and Stress Relief : Everyday aromatherapy has been a ritual in Australia dating back to the Aborigines. No doubt they found the fragrance of the Boronia flower to be fresh, uplifting and refreshing. If you are looking to relax or unwind after a particularly stressful day, then there is no better way than either submerge your body in the uplifting fragrances of favorite therapeutic essential oils like that of relaxing lavender, uplifting rosemary or soothing Ylang Ylang, or smother yourself, perhaps, in your favorite scent of Boronia oil. Adding drops of your favorite essential oils to a luxurious bath, or mixing with carrier oils made from grapeseed, Sweet Almond and wheatgerm for a smooth, wonderful massage is the perfect antidote to stress, tension and an overworked mind and body. But there are all sorts of ways to relax, like bath oils in as many fragrances as you can think of, some aromatherapy inspired from traditional recipes or others simply some of the most treasured and highly prized scents and aromas in the world. Most are also available in ultra moisturising lotions and massage oils too. You might even make your own handcrafted pillow sprays as an ideal way to surround yourself in a haze of your favorite aroma as you drift off or while you are asleep.
• Aphrodisiac : In this hectic world, many people are suffering from lack of sexual interest, temporary impotency, erectile dysfunctions and libido. Boronia absolute oil comprises amazing aphrodisiac property due to which it is highly effective in treating sex-related troubles. It stimulates sexual hormones like testosterone and estrogen, which puts you in a naughty or frisky mood that is ready for bedroom fun! If you are suffering from any of these problems you might look into giving Boronia oil a try.
• Sooths the Skin : Much like lavender, Boronia oil is cooling and soothing to the skin. But be careful not to use too much as it may over stimulate the senses and cause nausea. If you are going to topically apply the oil you should dilute it with several drops of a carrier oil, like coconut oil, before rubbing it directly into the skin. This is also why Boronia essential oil is often listed as part of the ingredients in lotion and or massage oils, because of these skin soothing properties.
• Anxiety : Boronia absolute oil has rich scent that has a positive effect on mind and body. Some of its benefits are:
  • Clears the mind
  • Uplifts mood
  • Treat depression, stress and anxiety
  • Connects you with your emotion while removing confusion
  • Supports in meditation
  • Disperse unwanted thoughts
  • Helps in treating insomnia
• Thyroid Disorders : Do you have an underactive thyroid? Oftentimes essential oils can bring you relief and restore thyroid health. The thyroid is the master control center for the metabolic function of every single cell in your body. Because of this, it has the power to disrupt every part of your body and produce serious changes in every aspect of your life including serious disease, mood, weight gain and low energy levels. Boronia oil can help. The best way is to topically apply the oil directly to the bottoms of your feet because the feet boast the largest pores on the body and allow for quick absorption. Use it in combination with lemongrass, myrrh and Frankincense. If you have sensitive skin you will want to dilute the blends a little more by using a carrier oil like almond or coconut.
