RUDA. ENERGY PROTECTION
RUDA (Essential Oil)
Rue (a plant of the Rutaceae family, like citrus fruits) is one of the most highly prized herbs in popular culture as an ‘energetic protector’ for cleansing homes and people. It has been used since ancient times to protect people from pests and as an herb in exorcisms. 
In part, this belief stems from its powerful effect on the nervous system – which it calms and relaxes – and on the circulatory system.
Its essential oil has fantastic properties:
ANTIDOTE for venomous bites (Hippocrates already used it for this purpose).
It is also useful as an INSECTICIDE, so as well as helping to eliminate insects from your home, it can be used in organic farming.
It is ANTIFUNGAL, so it is useful for athlete’s foot, thrush, etc., and it is ANTIBACTERIAL
A suitable PAINKILLER for arthritic pain and rheumatism.
A SEDATIVE for the nervous system, alleviating convulsions, hyperactivity, tremors, etc. It is very useful for epilepsy and seizures.
But BEWARE. This essential oil is not suitable for everyone. It is phototoxic (it contains coumarins and furocoumarins), neurotoxic (it damages the nervous system in high doses) and abortifacient (it contains ketones), so pregnant women, children and the elderly should avoid it.
Anyone who smells it for the first time will never forget its scent… I make myself a body cream with rue oil when I’m travelling a lot and feel I’m in close contact with people. That way, I nourish my skin and protect my energy field. WHAT ABOUT YOU? DO YOU USE IT?
