It can also be used as a natural deodorant, to ease exhausted emotional states, to ease arthritis, to help instill confidence, to help with cystitis, eczema, and psoriasis, and to blend well with other essential oils.

Benzoin oil, also known as Friars Balsam, has a calming effect that can relieve depression and feelings of sadness. Its sweet, balsamic vanilla-like aroma can be used in steam inhalation as a treatment for bronchitis, colds and similar conditions. It presents more like a syrupy liquid than an oil, but it is easy to dilute and is often used as a fixative in soaps and fragrances.
Sizes: 10ml, 20ml, 50ml, 100ml, 500ml or 1L.
