Description: Plai is from the ginger family but has a cooling effect rather than a warming one.
History: Plai essential oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and cultural rituals in certain regions. Some individuals may find value in incorporating these traditional practices into their lives, even if the specific benefits are not fully supported by scientific research.
Common uses: NZ legislation prevents us from commenting on the therapeutic benefits of essential oils.
Aromatherapy: Plai essential oil is known for its unique and pleasant aroma. Some individuals use it in aromatherapy to create a calming and relaxing atmosphere. The aroma of the oil may help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote a sense of well-being.
Crafts: Plai essential oil's pleasant scent can be used to add fragrance to homemade skincare products, perfumes, candles, and potpourri. Its unique aroma can contribute to a distinct and enjoyable olfactory experience.
Air freshener: Plai essential oil can be diluted and used as a natural air freshener. When diffused or added to cleaning solutions, it may help mask unpleasant odours and leave a refreshing scent in the environment.
Sensory experience: The aroma of plai essential oil can contribute to a sensory experience that evokes feelings of comfort, nostalgia, or ambiance. This is similar to how people enjoy the scents of flowers or other natural aromas.
Safety data: Very potent and not to be used on sensitive skin. Avoid use during pregnancy.
Our essential oils come in amber glass bottles with dripulator caps:
5ml and 20ml with an 18 neck dripulator cap, either white or black, depending on stock availability.
30ml, 50ml, 100ml, 250ml, with a 28 neck white dripulator cap (except for oils that are too thick for a dripulator, which have a black open pour cap).
