Boronia Essential Oil (Boronia megastigma)
Overview
Boronia may also be referred to as Brown Boronia, Sweet-scented Boronia, or Scented Boronia. It is typically processed in Australia or Tasmania using solvent extraction as a method for extracting oil from the flowers and leaves.
Summary
Boronia Absolute is used primarily within perfumery and fragrancing applications. Due to Boronia's high cost and reportedly frequent adulteration, Boronia Absolute isn't commonly used within holistic aromatherapy. However, true Boronia Absolute possesses a beautiful, intoxicating, floral aroma with a sweet and fruity character.
Little reputable information is available regarding the therapeutic uses of Boronia Absolute. Due to its high monoterpene content, Boronia Oil may act as a stimulant and may possibly offer some decongestant action. Emotionally, it is uplifting.
