Benefits
Anti Septic: Staphylococcus Aureus! Yes! This is the
species of bacteria which is responsible for this dreaded situation of
infection called septic. Septic is a real bad stuff. It is not only limited
to mere swelling and reddening of the wounds, with acute pain. If not
checked, it quickly spreads to the other parts of the body and affects them,
even if there are no wounds there. It causes acute pain, immobility and
hardening of joints, acute contraction and cramp in muscles, swelling,
redness, fever and convulsions. It readily attacks the new born babies as
their skin is vulnerable to infections. It also attacks them when they are
detached from their mother’s body by cutting the umbilical cord. The
Essential Oil of Tangerine contains certain components which kill these
bacteria and stops its spreading, thereby helping cure septic. It can be
externally applied on open wounds as well as taken orally for having a
uniform effect on the whole body.
