                  HOW TO USE IT

                  Skin Care
                  The oil has a disinfecting and antifungal nature so would work well in foot creams and gels.
                   
                  As a rubefacient, it will slightly redden the skin as it boosts the circulation.  This can be beneficial for lacklustre, congested skin.
                   
                  Hair Care
                  Use in small amounts in stimulating shampoos to help oxygenate the hair follicles.  This can encourage hair growth as it also boosts the circulation.
