Aromatic Considerations
Sugandha kokila has a mild cinnamon aroma. It is woody, resinous, and herbaceous all at once. The essential oils made from the berries of cinnamomum species are a little bit milder than oil made from the bark. Care should still be taken with inhalation and diffusion. Cinnamon in any form can be irritating to tender mucous membranes.
Application
Sugandha kokila should be diluted well before applying to areas of the body where increased circulation or pain relief are needed. Sugandha kokila can also be applied to the feet.
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects
Sugandha kokila essential oil is uplifting to the emotions and clearing to the mind. It brings a sense of being supported and cared for. Sugandha kokila is useful for anxiety and stress related swings in mood and energy.
Physical Aspecs
Sugandha kokila increases circulation, reduces pain and inflammation in the muscles and joints. It is excellent, either alone or as part of a blend for arthritis.
Cautions
Always dilute Sugandha kokila well and inhale with care.
