With a sweet, floral aroma and a calming, balancing effect on emotions, you’ll love adding Rhododendron oil to your daily rotation. Also recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant-rich composition, Rhododendron is fantastic for use in personal products, including hair and skin care.
A personal favorite of Inshanti blend master Debra Stoltzfus, Rhododendron essential oil makes a great perfume (when combined with a carrier oil) thanks to its delicate floral aroma. Additionally, thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory and calming properties, Rhododendron can both ease pain and muscle tension and soothe emotional distress, especially in massage oil blends or when added to baths. Or, use it in skincare to enjoy its ability to neutral free radicals and promote youthful, glowing skin.

Bath: Blend together in a separate container, 6-8 drops rhododendron, 4 drops of cedarwood, atlas into 1 tablespoon of castile soap, baby shampoo, shower gel or carrier oil.
