Personal Experience
R.C. is my companion while traveling as well as during the winter season when so many people around me are sick, coughing, or sneezing. I apply a few drops of this oil neat onto my throat and chest at the first sign of respiratory discomfort.
My mother used this oil for her chronic cough which got so much better after 2 weeks of daily application onto her chest and vita flex points.
