Each time I write about an oil I inhale it and experience it so I can be in tune with what I’m discovering about its nature. This is an inviting oil and my yoga students love it when I put some in my hands and rub them together over their face while in savasana. It revives the senses and the aroma is uplifting. This oil blends well with cardamom. Both oils affect the respiratory system.
