The use of telon oil after bathing is often done by Indonesians, especially to warm babies. However, this oil has other benefits besides warming the body. Check out the following reviews about the benefits of telon oil for both adults and babies.
Benefits of telon oil that you may not know
Basically, telon oil is a mixture of fennel oil, eucalyptus oil, and coconut oil as a carrier oil. Therefore, the properties and benefits are not much different from the three oils, such as:
1. Helps protect from insect bites
The mixture of eucalyptus oil with other oils in telon oil makes this oil has a strong aroma. This strong aroma makes insects reluctant to approach you.
In 2011, a study showed that cajuput oil, which is the main ingredient of eucalyptus oil, has a scent that repels insects.
Therefore, when you use telon oil containing eucalyptus, insects will be reluctant to approach your body.
2. Overcoming respiratory problems
Not only to protect against insect bites, telon oil also has benefits to help overcome respiratory problems. This is because the eucalyptus oil content in telon oil is a decongestant, so it helps you relieve symptoms, such as:
- Nasal congestion
- Sore throat
- Runny nose
Therefore, inhaling the aroma of telon oil can also help you to overcome the respiratory problems you are experiencing.
3. Relieve muscle spasms
If you experience muscle spasms with pain that can be tolerated, applying telon oil can help relieve the spasm.
This is because the mixture of eucalyptus oil and fennel in telon oil has a relaxing effect on the muscles. Other than that, eucalyptamint eucalyptus oil is used as a medicine to treat muscle spasms and arthritis.
4. Relieves flatulence
For those of you who often experience flatulence, try rubbing telon oil on your stomach to help overcome the problem. This is because the content of fennel oil in telon oil is believed to reduce pain in the stomach.
In a 2016 study it was found that a mixture of fennel oil and oil containing curcumin can reduce symptoms in people with mild irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The study lasted 30 days and nearly all of the participants reported that their flatulence and pain had improved.
Although it is often used for babies, in fact telon oil also brings benefits to adults with certain conditions, such as insect bites, nasal congestion, or flatulence.
However, try to consult your doctor first before using telon oil as an alternative medicine.
Side effects of using telon oil
This mixture of eucalyptus oil and fennel oil is actually very safe to use. However, there are still no studies that really show the safe limits of the benefits of using telon oil in the long term.
In addition, it is likely that for some people, this oil will cause stomach and intestinal pain.
The benefits of telon oil are actually almost the same as eucalyptus oil. However, because there is a mixture of other ingredients, the telon oil has a different aroma. Don't forget to ask your doctor whether your condition allows using telon oil for daily use.
