Related information

Rosalina is a wild harvested Australian native. This Australian native grows between 3 – 8 metres around swampy lowlands, along creeks and behind sand dunes in coastal areas, on low level to high salinity soils. The composition of the oil has been compared to Tea Tree (M. alternifolia) oil except the major constituent is linalool.  It is said that there are similarities with Lavender but fresher in note. It can be an alternative for those who don’t like the Lavender scent, but may appreciate the M. ericifolia with its slight lemony and buttery scent.

There are some individuals that feel that Tea Tree is either too harsh aromatically or energetically. While Rosalina essential oil is much gentle and quite appealing to most people. Rosalina essential oil has a soft, almost feminine energetic quality that is very nurturing and soothing. When one is looking for an essential oil that has strong anti-bacterial, anti-viral, immune stimulating properties, Rosalina essential oil is a fabulous choice. Because Rosalina is so gentle, yet powerful, it really can assist to address both the physical and emotional aspects of an illness.

On an energetic level, Rosalina essential oil relates mainly to the fourth, or heart chakra. It really is going to address the lungs and respiratory tract, but also deeply affects the heart chakra because of its gentle, soothing nature. Rosalina can also been used on the sixth, or third eye chakra also because of its ability to assist in change – on a physical as well as an emotional or spiritual level.
