Tei Fu Essential Oil Blend

Tei Fu Essential Oil Blend is derived from an ancient Chinese formula used to soothe aching muscles and stiff joints. Applied to the temples and back of the neck, it often relieves headaches. However, the oil must not be near the eyes or they may be irritated by the strong fragrance. The scent of this essential oil blend has been described as a "Be My Valentine" candy heart!

For congestion or just to enjoy aroma in the air, place a few drops of the oil in a small pan with water. The hotter the water, the more these oils evaporate into the air, acting as a disinfectant, deodorizer, and mood enhancer.This blend is safe for diffuser use as well. This is a pure, concentrated essential oil blend, if using for massage then it needs to be diluted in your favorite carrier oil or massage oil.

Tei Fu Blend contains camphor, peppermint, wintergreen with some sweetening floral oils and absolutes as minor components.

Camphor Oil is an effective stimulant. It stimulates circulation, metabolism, digestion, secretions and excretion, thereby helping problems and ailments associated with improper circulation, obstructed secretions etc. Camphor can be toxic if ingested and should be used topically in small amounts. Camphor Oil is an excellent disinfectant, insecticide and germicide. The strong penetrating aroma of Camphor Oil is a powerful decongestant. It immediately opens up congestions of bronchi, larynx, pharynx, nasal tracts and lungs. It is therefore used in many decongestant balms and cold rubs.

Peppermint contains menthol, which helps in clearing the respiratory tract. It is an effective expectorant and therefore provides instantaneous, though temporary, relief in numerous respiratory problems including nasal congestion, sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis, cold and cough. As a result, it is used in numerous cold rubs. When these cold rubs are rubbed on the chest, they assist in clearing nasal and respiratory congestion. Peppermint oil can be used externally to provide relief from pain. It is believed that the presence of calcium antagonism in peppermint oil aids in removing pain. It is cooling in nature and therefore helps reduce fever.

Wintergreen Oil increases circulation of blood and brings warmth to the application site. The relaxing and stimulating effect of this oil fights spasm in the respiratory, muscular, nervous systems and gives relief from congestion in chest, breathing troubles, asthma, spasmodic coughs, muscular cramps and nervous disorders.

This blend is excellent in massage oils and lotions or use it as is in a diffuser or humidifier.
