Cistus Essential Oil AKA Rock Rose

Sun, Oct 21, 18 . Admin Editor

There are several essential oils that we have explained and explored that have various names. Some are harder to pronounce, some are a bit too similar to another, completely different type of essential oil. Today, we will be explaining the benefits of Cistus oil, not to be confused with citrus, which is often a blend of lime, lemon and orange oil.

Cistus oil is also known as rock rose oil and it is extracted from the leaves and stems of a Cistus plant. An oil with a very strong, pleasant scent, it evokes amber, warm tones that are both heady and dry. It has been used in fragrances due to it's lovely scent. Here are some helpful uses for this little known oil.

Skin Care

Cistus oil is tremendous for the skin. It is known for the ability to fight against the signs of aging as it naturally tones and tightens the skin. If you are suffering from crows feet, sagging skin or skin that looks dry and drab, this oil is the perfect anecdote to that.

You can try adding a couple of drops of the oil to your toner or even your cleanser and make sure you cleanse your skin every night. Dirt particles and pollution surround the face much more than we realize.

Promotes Relaxation

If you're having trouble relaxing or are constantly agitated or anxiety ridden because of your lifestyle, you need something that's going to help you decompress and rejuvenate your system while allowing you to unwind. A couple of drops of this oil in a humidifier or a diffuser will help you unwind after a long day of various stressors having your attention.

Congestion

If you are suffering from colds or bronchitis, this oil can help provide you with some relief. Issues with upper respiratory functions such as asthma, colds, and coughs can be alleviated by using this special and powerful oil. Just a few drops mixed with a few drops of eucalyptus oil can be rubbed on the chest nightly to provide ease in breathing.

You can also use it if you happen to suffer with allergies. Those seasonal pests can sometimes take you out of the game; congestion that prevents the proper use of your nose can be downright irritating. This oil will help.

Skin Issues

Do you sometimes deal with patches of eczema, psoriasis or rashes? This oil should be kept on hand. One of it's key components is its ability to directly improve inflammation. It's inherently anti inflammatory so any type of swelling, fissures or breakouts will subside substantially by incorporating this oil into your skin care regime.

You can add a couple of drops to your bath for an all over treatment that will fortify every part of your skin. You can also spot treat problem areas that you notice are swelling or becoming red for whatever reason. Add a few drops of the oil into a carrier oil and you can apply it directly on the skin.
