Gurjun essential oil is an antimicrobial, decongesting oil with historical ties to traditional medicine. Often used to treat cold and flu symptoms, many have claimed that gurjun oil helps to clear blocked airways due to its refreshing scent. It also has antibacterial and antifungal properties that make it a great cleaning agent. Gurjun oil has been found to act as an anti-inflammatory on the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of many skin conditions. Traditionally used to increase the flow of blood around the body, it is still believed by many to promote red blood cell production.
