PLAI - ZINGIBER CASSUMUNAR ROBX.

Of all the oils I've worked with to date, Plai is my favorite -- which is why it's my first     'Oil of the Week'.  

Plai is a species of Ginger - Zingiber cassumunar Roxb. - and its essential oil comes primarily from Thailand where both the herb and the oil are used for many things, but most especially for injuries and pain relief.  

Like Ginger, Plai can help settle the stomach but where Ginger is warming, Plai is cooling.  It has significant pain-relieving properties that work on muscles and joints, sprains and strains.  Even more importantly, Plai can help reduce inflammation and is being studied for its potential to reduce the risk of cognitive degeneration caused by chronic inflammation.  It's antimicrobial, and clinical studies exploring chondroprotective properties are showing positive results.  Emotionally, it can help cool a hot temper, and energetically, it can encourage a feeling of peace and calm.
Plai is considered safe to use when properly diluted.    

​Plai is the "hero" in my Total Knot Out blend, and an important part of my Joint Candy blend!
