Nerolina Essential Oil is a cousin to the very popular 100% Pure Tea Tree essential oil.

Nerolina was traditionally used by indigenous Australians in a brew from the leaves to treat headaches, colds, and general sickness. Nerolina Essential Oil is a very powerful disinfectant and may be added to toothpaste, oral sprays, skin care, hair care, head lice and wound healing blends.
When our mind is too busy to enjoy stillness, Nerolina can help usher in peace, calm and balance.
It has a floral and slightly woody aroma. Nerolina has anti-anxiety properties that relax the body and mind with ease. Nerolina has a wonderful cooling and calming effect that can help restore emotional balance.
