Palmarosa
(Cymbocodan Martin)
 Palmarosa is good for all skin types because it is a cellular stimulator and supports all cell regulation. It`s highly antiseptic, calming, uplifting, and antidepressive. It can be a stimulant to the endocrine system and to lymphatic drainage. Some people love the odor, and find it quite sedating. Its preferable when it`s fresh, because after one year it becomes quite strong. To use it then one must mix it with other sweet oils.
