Properties of Palma Rosa and Thyme essential oils
Palma Rosa Essential Oil
Palma rosa essential oil comes from a tropical grass that is native to India. Appreciated for its antiseptic and antibacterial qualities, it is also known by names like Turkish geranium, rosha, and motia.
In its purest form, it is renowned for treating skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin. You are encouraged to dilute it with water before applying it directly to your skin. However, it does not need to be diluted if it is used in recipes such as this one for vaginal itching.
Palma rosa oil is safe and poses little risk to your internal or external health. However, you should test a small quantity on your skin to ensure that you are not allergic to it. You also should not use it without checking with your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Thyme Essential Oil
Like Palma rosa oil, thyme essential oil also is an antibacterial and antiseptic agent that can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions like rashes or eczema. It kills germs that cause infection, irritation, and odor.
Thyme essential oil also is known for its ability to encourage natural hormone production and circulation, both of which are helpful when treating vaginal itching.
Cautious: Thyme essential oil acts as a natural blood thinner and could lead to clotting difficulties. You should consult your doctor before using if you have anemia or other blood disorders.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is a natural killer of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is renowned for its ability to treat skin burns and relieve itching. Coconut oil can also be a good alternative.
Cautious: Don’t use aloe vera if you have a latex allergy.
Why use an organic tampon?
Organic tampons are made with organic cotton that is grown without pesticides or insecticides. It’s free of any chemicals or fragrances. Chemicals can be easily absorbed into the body especially around the vagina. The skin is particularly thin and high vascular.
Therefore, it’s highly recommended to use organic products, especially if you suffer from vaginal itching. Your skin may be sensitive to chemicals and make the itch worse.
