Influence on the Respiratory System (Dr Penoel, 2005)

  • Soothes the irritation and nervous cough reactions linked to the lungs
  • Strengthens and balances the immune system
  • Has an analgesic effect when used externally

Anti-microbial and Anti-fungal

  • Studies at the University of Western Australia have shown Fragonia to have significant anti-microbial activity, similar to that of other recognized anti-microbial essential oils, including tea tree oil. It was shown to be as effective as tea tree oil in treating Candida albicans or thrush
  • Very pleasing scent, not medicinal
  • Fragonia hydrosol creates an acidic environment in the throat when gargled, which is beneficial in treating cases of bacterial tonsillitis.

Anti-inflammatory

  • Preliminary research by the University of Western Australia supports the potential of Fragonia as an anti-inflammatory oil

Analgesic

  • Fragonia can be used to assist in relieving minor pain, including joint and muscle pain through topical application

‘It appears that Fragonia has some remarkable analgesic properties’ (Dr Penoel, 2005) Strengthens the Immune System

  • Being a very gentle oil, Fragonia can be applied on a daily basis to the skin over the lymphatic nodes in the side of the neck, the armpits and groin to strengthen the immune system (Dr Penoel, 2005)

‘It is particularly effective over the winter months’ (Dr Penoel, 2005) Influence on the Female Menstrual Cycle Karen Wallwork, an Australian aromatherapist, has found in her clinical research on ‘Agonis fragrans and the Female Menstrual Cycle’ that Fragonia seems to have the ability to assist in regulating the hormonal imbalance which comes under the control of the pituitary gland. The constituents of Fragonia allow it to penetrate, decongest and disperse allowing the body’s homeostasis to be restored.

  • There was a significant improvement relating to pain, depression, anxiety, breast tenderness and bloating. There was also a positive shift in relationships and productivity and duration of symptoms decreased from 3 -5 days to 1 – 3 days.
  • Applications of the oil or cream to the brow or lower abdomen were both effective
  • Normally several oils in varying ratios are required to treat the presenting symptoms. The study found that Fragonia used alone was effective

As well, some feedback has been received on the positive effect of Fragonia with hot flushes and in treating migraines associated with menstruation. Being a ‘female’ orientated oil, Fragonia helps balance and regulate the reproductive system at a holistic level. (Dr Penoel, 2011) Jet Lag and Regulation of the Body Clock

  • Feedback from several travellers has indicated that Fragonia appears to have a very positive effect in preventing or minimising the symptoms of jet lag. Many shift workers report that Fragonia has seemed to lessen their requirement to use alcohol (to relax) and coffee (to stimulate) to regulate their body clock. (Karen Wallwork, 2007)

The Tao – the Yin and Yang of it all! Dr Penoel believes Fragonia represents the yin or female aspect of the Tao and Kunzea, the yang or male aspect. The Tao indicates the interdependence of yin and yang energies. An extreme condition in one will make the other unbalanced and a state of ill health can arise. The combination of both oils seems to reunify the Tao and to provide a new level of results that cannot be obtained just with the individual use of each oil. The combination will depend on the needs of the client. For Karen Wallwork, this made perfect sense. Fragonia seems to assist in the female or yin condition (menstruation). During menstruation, it has been reported that rubbing it on the belly alleviates cramps. Yin is also associated with damp/heavy sinus conditions. At an emotional level it particularly helps alleviate grief and sadness, while dispersing, clearing, opening up, balancing, calming and bringing harmony. Kunzea assists more with the male or yang energy – anger and frustration, inner conflict, agitation, restlessness, frustration as well as skin conditions and muscle tension. (KW 2007) Safety Considerations Fragonia is a very safe and gentle essential oil. It is well tolerated on the skin, though patch testing with sensitive skin is recommended. Fragonia can be ingested in small amounts — one drop of Fragonia diluted in a glass of water or placed on the back of the tongue is helpful to ward off colds and flu.   Diluted, it is safe to use with children and pregnant women (Dr Penoel, 2011). A dilution of 10-13 drops per ounce of base oil is recommended.
