Try using benzoin essential oil in massage for a deeper, more effective way of relieving pain. Add in a few drops of frankincense essential oil for added benefits.
• If you suffer from acute or chronic nasal and/or chest congestion, you can add a few drops of benzoin essential oil and one of eucalyptus essential oil to a bowl of steaming water and hold your face over it, inhaling the fragrant and decongesting aromas. Use a towel over your head to create a steam tent, and inhale the vapors for about five minutes for maximum effectiveness.
• Benzoin Enhanced Chest Rub – Mix 10 ml almond oil with 8 drops of benzoin essential oil, and 2 drops of eucalyptus essential oil. Rub it on your chest and neck before putting on your pajamas at bedtime.
• Do you suffer from psoriasis on your scalp? Get rid of itchy, scaly patches that cause embarrassing skin flakes by adding five drops of benzoin essential oil to baby shampoo (or a similar mild shampoo) and shake well prior to each use.
• Benzoin essential oil is antiseptic: it’s germicidal, bactericidal, fungicidal, and antiviral. A balm made with benzoin essential oil is ideal to have on hand for scratches, burns, skin ulcers, and other wounds. Try this combination to help heal injured skin: Ingredients: 10 ml almond oil 6 drops benzoin essential oil 2 drops lavender essential oil.
• While diluted tincture of benzoin makes an ideal astringent toner, benzoin essential oil can help reduce the appearance of dark spots associated with premature aging and sun exposure. It encourages renewal of the skin and assists in repairing damage. Combine the following, and apply it to the skin daily: 10 ml almond oil, 4 drops lemon essential oil, 4 drops benzoin essential oil.
• Just when you thought benzoin essential oil couldn’t be any better, here’s one more use for it. Benzoin essential oil can also be used to relieve stiffness, aches, and inflammation and to improve circulation. For this reason, it’s an excellent choice to include in massage oil. Here’s a recipe you can make for yourself, for a partner, or for professional massage clients:  Ingredients: 2 drops rose essential oil, 2 drops benzoin essential oil, 3 drops frankincense essential oil, 5 drops bergamot essential oil, 30 ml grapeseed oil. Be sure to massage the oil into your feet, where it can soothe tired fascia and repair cracks in your heels too. This essential oil does it all.
