Nahrin Eucalyptus Oil - the Respiratory Essence
Eucalyptus, a native species of Australia has been used by the Aboriginal people to treat sinus congestion and colds way before Europeans set foot on their land. Eucalyptus Oil is extracted via steam distillation. The active ingredient is a Cineole-based oil which is known to help relieve the symptoms of flu and colds.
It also has an antibacterial effect on pathogenic bacteria in the respiratory tract. Inhaled, Eucalyptus vapours can decongest by controlling airway mucus hyper-secretions. Eucalyptus also has good anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties when used topically as a liniment. It also makes a great insect repellent and miticide.

Nahrin Lavender Oil - the Calming Oil
Lavender, a native plant of the mountainous areas of the Mediterranean and Persia, where it grows in the sunny infertile soils. During July and August, when the plants are in bloom, the flower panicles are harvested, when the sun is at its highest point. This is because this is the time when the content of essential oil is at its maximum.
It takes between 150-160kg of flower heads to make 1kg of essence. The oil is extracted using a steam distillation process. It is a long and expensive process which leads to some brands mixing in cheap substitutes such as lavandin to keep the price down, however this seriously affects its benefits. What’s more, we have found that the wild plants of the mountains are the most beneficial when compared to the cultivated plants grown in lower areas.
Its distinctive scent is often associated with soaps and potpourris. Commonly, small sachets of dried lavender flowers have been placed in clothes draws as a deterrent to moths and placed under pillows at night to aid sleep and bring sweet dreams. Likewise you can use a few drops Nahrin Lavender Oil placed on a small cloth that can be placed in your draws or a few drops on a pillow for the same effect.

Nahrin Lemon Oil - the Concentration Oil
The aroma of lemons tends to conjure up the feeling of freshness and cleanliness. It is no wonder as many of our household products use this fragrance but in most cases employ a synthetically produced scent called citral.
The natural lemon oil comes from the oil glands in the peel which is cold pressed and the residue is then centrifuged. At Nahrin we use about 200kg of lemons to get 1kg of essence.
Lemon oil belongs to the group of essential oils which are in the ‘high oscillation’ spectrum and give an uplifting effect on your mood especially when you are feeling tired. They also stimulate the reasoning areas of the brain as opposed to the emotional areas. Lemon oil is particularly effective for sharpening concentration and strengthening memory retention, ideal to aid people who are studying for difficult exams or have a heavy load of work to get through!
It is also ideal as an air bound disinfectant because of its strong germicidal properties. What’s more, you can use it to reduce itchiness and stop swelling when dabbed neat on insect bites.
Add Nahrin Lemon Oil to Nahrin Carrier Oil and massage in to give a great toning effect to muscles.
Lemon oil is also effective as a hair tonic. Many people use lemon oil to get strong, healthy and shinning hair. Lemon oil is also used for removing dandruff from head.

Nahrin Orange Oil - the Uplifting Essence
Orange Oil, unlike many of the other Essential oils is extracted via a cold-press method from the orange peel.
The scent of orange is known to have an uplifting aroma which helps alleviate anxious feelings and improve moods. Orange Oil has also become a popular ingredient in many household cleaning products because of its antiseptic properties. Adding a few drops of Orange Oil when you clean the floor can help disinfect the area. As with any essential Oil when using it on a surface, always try it out on a small area for the first time and only use a few drops.
Recently, I read a research paper using Orange Essential Oil for weight loss. The research links scent and mood to weight loss. When the scent of oranges is inhaled, the brain sends a signal to our stomachs to stop sending hunger pang messages. It was found that it was particularly useful when used at the beginning of a weight loss programme.
Orange Oil also makes and excellent insect repellent. Use it in an oil burner to help keep mosquitoes away when dinning outside or wipe or spray around windows and doors where pests like ants and moths get into your house.
There is some evidence that Orange Oil can have phototoxic properties. That means that it can make your skin hypersensitive to the effects of the sun. We therefore recommend that you don’t apply it to your skin before subjecting it to strong sunlight.

Nahrin Peppermint oil - the Well Being oil
Mentha Piperita oil is one of the most well known essences in aromatherapy. A home or travelling “pharmacy“ should not be without it. It is a very fast acting substance in acute cases and helps with dizziness, trembling and general weakness. Some drops on a handkerchief as dry inhalation has an almost immediate effect.
There are several kinds of mint. The best known is the peppermint, a hybrid from water mint and green mint. Peppermint essence is extracted by steam distillation of the slightly dried leaves. For 1 kg of essence about 2000 kg of leaves are necessary. Nowadays the best quality of mint is cultivated in England and Italy.
Mint oil is ideally suitable to treat headache and neck tensions. Massage one to two drops of pure essence on sore muscles and also apply on the forehead (make sure that the oil does not get into your eyes).
Mint oil has a warming effect; it relieves cramps and has a stimulating effect on digestion. It helps with flatulence, nausea and vomiting, with travel sickness and seasickness and it is also a harmless remedy against morning nausea during pregnancy.
Peppermint oil, diluted in water, alcohol, vinegar or fatty oil is a very good product to be used for massages to relieve sore muscles, lumbago, bruises, contusions, pains of the joints and insect bites. Great for sport massages using a concentration not stronger than 1%.
The quality of the peppermint oil is very important and should not be underestimated.

The shrub is indigenous to New South Wales, Australia. Research by an Australian chemist called Arthur de Ramon Penfold in the 1920s and 1930s into the effective antimicrobial properties, gave birth to the Tea Tree cultivation industry.

Nahrin Thyme Oil - the Decongestant Essence
Thyme Oil has been used since the Egyptian times as a body balm and fragrance. The Romans would take Thyme baths to regain strength and it is they who propagated the plant throughout Europe. In the middle ages knights would be given a sprig to give them courage.
This all may sound mythical but there are good reasons for it. Thyme, amongst its many properties, stimulates circulation and therefore can help concentration and focus and revitalises tired muscles. Its warming effect can help with the symptoms of rheumatism, sciatica and gout. Another important benefit is its good antiseptic properties because of its high concentration of Thymol. It has a stronger disinfecting effect than many chemical disinfectants and what’s more has an antiviral effect.
Thyme oil is produced by means of steam distillation from the flowering branches.
