Properties and Applications

The following information was obtained from the references listed below.

A strong anti-hematoma, although less dramatically analgesic than the oil. Applied in a compress to bangs and bumps or old aches, it can even bring subcutaneous bruises to the surface, exposing hidden damage. Wonderful as a sports rub after a workout or physical labor because of its powerful anti-inflammatory and mild analgesic properties. Used in synergy with the rather expensive immortelle essential oil, it can reduce the amount of essential oil needed during a long-term healing, such as for broken bones, where there is a lot of bruising and swelling. Significantly anti-inflammatory and cicatrisant for all wound and tissue damage.  Combine immortelle with rock rose in a douche for endometriosis, fibroids, and painful periods. Immortelle is a must for aftercare in any surgery, speeding the healing of incisions and needle wounds, reducing swelling and bruising, and also detoxifying the liver of anesthetic.  Use as a mouthwash after dental work. For gingivitis or receding gums, use one tablespoon neat or mixed 50:50 with water as a mouthwash two times daily every day for six months and watch your dentist be amazed.
