HISTORY OF THE USE OF BENZOIN

Benzoin gum is one of the most traded commodity in ancient times. The powdered form of the resin was used in incenses by ancient Greeks and Romans. The Mayas use its scent to drive away evil spirits and is a common element during religious rituals.

In the 15th century, the powdered form of the gum is used in making perfumes. This powder was later called the “incense from Java” which was also used to treat several illnesses including bronchitis. It was the famous prophet Nostradamus who classified the resin as a treatment for various skin infections.

BENEFITS OF USING BENZOIN ESSENTIAL OIL

FOR UNBLEMISHED SKIN

Benzoin essential oil is a known moisturizer which helps keep the skin healthy and hydrated. And when the skin is healthy, it gives a more youthful appearance. Its ability to increase the elasticity of the skin reduces the appearance of the different signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.

The astringent property of benzoin essential oil is what makes it an excellent toner to get rid of microbes and pollutants on the skin. For people who have bad sunburns, benzoin oil can help sooth and relieve the pain that comes with it.

RELIEF FOR RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS

The oil’s antibacterial and antiviral properties make it effective in curing coughs and colds. It is why benzoin is a typical ingredient in balms and rubs. It also acts as an expectorant. An expectorant gets rid of any excess mucus that can harbor infectious bacteria in the body.

Mixing a few drops of benzoin and eucalyptus essential oil in a diffuser can promote better breathing and clear up the sinus.

EASES PAIN

Benzoin oil’s anti-inflammatory property can relieve muscle and joint pain. When applied on the skin, the oil is easily absorbed through the pores. The oil can be blended with frankincense essential oil and massage oil for a greater feeling of relief.

FOR ORAL CARE

Benzoin oil can be used to care for the teeth and gums. Its antimicrobial property kills harmful bacteria in the mouth that causes bad breath. It helps reduce the swelling of the gums and keep it tight and healthy.
