Sugandha Kokila essential oil consists primarily of methyl cinnamate and 1,8 cineole; a beneficial germicidal with antimicrobial, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties well suited for massage oil blends targeting arthritic and rheumatic conditions. Its analgesic effects are also beneficial in sports related massage for reducing pain and inflammation in the muscles and joints while increasing circulation.
Some sources indicate Sugandha Kokila essential oil is a possible emmenagogue, meaning it may have the ability to provoke menstruation. For this reason, and without conclusive evidence, we suggest erring on the side of caution and not use this oil if pregnant.
Diffusing Sugandha Kokila into the air (either by an oil diffuser or electric diffuser) may also be helpful with respiratory infections, sinus conditions, and headaches.
Aromatically this oil combines nicely with Lavender and Juniper Berry, anchored by Balsam of Peru with its sweet vanilla like notes for an exotic sensual masculine perfume blend. This is an oil to be creative with; our Nepalese distiller describes Sugandha Kokila as "A Gift to Perfumers from the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal".
