Continuing on in the series of the Healing properties of Essential oils.
Esters: These oils are the most balancing of all, are the safest to use, and tend to have a pleasant, fruity smell. They are commonly antispasmodic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory. Many esters are also sedative and fungicidal. Their balancing nature makes them particularly effective on the nervous system. Roman chamomile contains a number of esters not commonly found in other oils. Clary sage and lavender also contain a high amount of the ester linalyl acetate.
Fungicidal – capable of destroying fungi
Sedative – tending to calm or soothe; allaying irritability or excitement; assuaging pain; lowering functional activity.
