What is Pranarôm Pennyroyal Essential Oil 10 ml used for?
Pennyroyalessential oil has antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Native to Europe and Asia Minor, pennyroyal is an aromatic perennial plant with oval, serrated leaves and whorled purple flowers, growing up to 40 cm tall. The essential oil is known as pennyroyal oil.
Thanks to its high content of ketones such as pulegone, menthone, and piperitone, pennyroyal essential oil is a powerful expectorant and mucolytic. These compounds help thin respiratory secretions, thereby facilitating their expulsion and clearing the airways.
The ketones present in pennyroyal aid digestion by stimulating the production and release of bile by the liver. This cholagogue and choleretic action contributes to better digestion and optimal liver function. In addition, it acts as a eupeptic, helping to relieve digestive disorders.
The menthol present in pennyroyal essential oil provides tonic and stimulating properties to the body, particularly to the cardiovascular system. Its hypertensive action causes vasoconstriction of blood vessels, thereby increasing blood pressure. It also acts as a neurotonic stimulant, promoting alertness and concentration.
The ketones found in pennyroyal aid digestion and support healthy liver function. This stimulating effect on the liver and digestive system helps improve food digestion and promotes the elimination of toxins by the liver. Thanks to its menthol content, pennyroyal essential oil has insect-repellent and insecticidal properties. It is effective at repelling or even eliminating insects, making it a natural repellent against pests.
Pennyroyal aids in the elimination of intestinal gas, thereby relieving bloating and digestive discomfort. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve symptoms associated with menstruation. In addition to its primary properties, pennyroyal essential oil also has secondary properties, notably anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, which can help relieve pain and inflammation.
