Why use Bay Saint Thomas essential oil?

Anti-dandruff and toning, Bay Saint Thomas essential oil has long been recognized for its strengthening properties on the scalp. It will be mainly used in case of fine and oily hair (with or without dandruff) or to promote growth. This very powerful essential oil must, however, be used with caution. When used locally, it can be irritating to the skin and scalp. It is recommended to always dilute it before application to a maximum of 5-10% in a vegetable oil. Its sanitizing and anti-infectious properties make it useful in diffusion to purify the ambient air. It is never diffused alone but always in synergy with other essential oils such as lemon.
