It’s freezing cold in Melbourne’s Dandenongs. We had some snow and hail last week! Today the air is crisp and clear and the sunshine adds a festive look to it.

And I’m here to share my excitement about the new oil we now stock – Peru Balsam.

Peru Balsam  is made from a sap of a tree, Myroxylon balsamum (L.).

Peru Balsam essential oil has a deep aroma, frankincense and lemon notes jump at you straight away. It’s also cinnamon-y and with a touch of benzoin (vanilla).

It is a mental stimulant, particularly good for stress. But traditionally it has been used topically for many skin problems: dry skin, eczema, minor cuts and wounds.  It is recommended to dilute this oil if used topically.

When diffused or used in an aroma lamp, Peru Balsam is fantastic for respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis. It is a fair antimicrobial and antiviral, so can be of use during colds and flu season.

On the metaphysical level it can be used to help process grief, loss, or shift the reluctance to let go.
