Also, use essential oils with care and only under the proper guidance of an expert while pregnant or if you have liver damage, epilepsy, cancer or other serious health problems.

It is good for the respiratory system in times of the common cold and flu. It stimulates the circulatory system, so it complements Rosemary in that respect. It is softer than commonly stimulating oils like Rosemary and Eucalyptus, bringing the best of worlds - stimulation and the healing property of common Lavender.
