Agathosma betulina

Escentia’s Buchu essential oil is an extremely effective antiseptic and may prevent wounds from becoming septic and contracting tetanus. It is especially effective as an antiseptic for the urinary system. It prevents infection of the urinary tract, bladder and urethra. It is also anti-inflammatory, thereby helping relieve uncomfortable swelling in the body.

Buchu oil brings relief from rheumatism and arthritis. It does this by removing uric acid from the body through increased urination. Being carminative, this essential oil helps remove gas from the stomach and intestines. This relieves uncomfortable symptoms such as nausea, headache, drowsiness, indigestion and vomiting.
