Agonis fragrans essential oil has powerful balancing properties.
It’s antimicrobial activity is similar to tea tree but it is a gentler oil on the skin.
It is considered to be an excellent treatment for topical infections such as acne or impetigo, for fungal infections such as tinea and viral infections such as cold sores.
Physically the presence of 1.8 cineol makes it a great inhalation oil. It’s expectorant properties are not as powerful and aggressive as Eucalyptus, it is still very useful in a steam inhalation treatment for colds, flu, and other head and chest infections. Being gentler makes it good for use with children.
It has analgesic and anti inflammatory properties.
From the chemistry approach, the striking element is the extremely well-balanced composition of the oil.
Agonis fragrans essential oil is also good for tired joints or muscles.
