Saro

What is Saro?

Saro essential oil, derived from the Cinnamosma fragrans plant native to Madagascar, has a fresh, camphoraceous aroma with uplifting, purifying qualities. Known for its respiratory and immune-supporting properties, Saro is often used in aromatherapy during cold seasons to help clear airways and support immune function.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Some individuals may experience intolerance to Saro oil due to its high cineole content, which can be irritating to sensitive skin or respiratory systems. People sensitive to camphor-like or eucalyptus aromas may find Saro overwhelming and experience mild headaches or respiratory discomfort.

What can I do about it?

To manage intolerance to Saro, use it sparingly in a diffuser and dilute it with a carrier oil for topical application. Blending Saro with gentler oils, such as lavender or lemon, can soften its scent while retaining its benefits. Reducing exposure and using it in moderation can make it more tolerable.
