white flower oil

/
 

Almost one hundred years ago a merchant in Singapore named Gan Geog Eng created an analgesic essential oil blend for his family and for himself to use. Everyone who tried it loved it. He was convinced to produce it commercially. The name ‘White Flower’ (Pak Fah Yeow or Bai Hua You in China) was given not because the flowers providing the essential oils are white but because Gan Geog Eng’s favorite flower was white – the white narcissus. He trademarked the formula in 1935 and manufactured it in Hong Kong. White Flower Oil is a trauma staple widely used throughout Asia and quickly gaining popularity in the USA.

Although not strictly an emergency remedy only, White Flower Oil with its strong aromatic herbs will quickly relieve pain from acute sprains or strains, open sinuses, alleviate a headache, stop itching from insect bites. Include this analgesic oil in your Green First Aid Kit.

The six essential oils – Wintergreen, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Camphor, Menthol, and Lavender – are cooling and moving, refreshing and relieving. White Flower Oil can be directly applied, added to water or blended with another oil or lotion for ease of application.

WHITE FLOWER OIL has a MYRIAD of uses:
