The Sugandh Kokila Oil is a natural analgesic. Antimicrobial by nature, it strengthens the body’s resistance to infective organisms. As an antiseptic, it helps in fighting urinary and pulmonary infections. Its cooling quality is helpful in alleviating inflammation. Moreover, it also acts as an expectorant, decongestant and is a natural bactericidal. Sugandha Kokila essential oil consists primarily of methyl cinnamate and 1,8 cineole; a beneficial germicidal with antimicrobial, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties well suited for massage oil blends targeting arthritic and rheumatic conditions. Its analgesic effects are also beneficial in sports related massage for reducing pain and inflammation in the muscles and joints while increasing circulation. Some sources indicate Sugandha Kokila essential oil is a possible emmenagogue, meaning it may have the ability to provoke menstruation. For this reason, and without conclusive evidence, we suggest erring on the side of caution and not use this oil if pregnant.
