Traditionally used in herbal medicine and spiritual practices, it supports skin health, respiratory comfort, and natural insect deterrence. Its distinctive scent and versatile therapeutic benefits make it a valued ingredient in cosmetics, natural remedies, cleaning products, and aromatherapy blends.
