Traditional and Topical Uses of Infused Rue Oil:

1. Pain Relief for Joints and Muscles

• Uses: Applied topically to relieve arthritic pain, rheumatism, neuralgia, and sciatica.

• How it works: Rue contains rutin and volatile oils that help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and ease muscle spasms.

2. Antispasmodic for Cramps and Muscle Spasms

• Uses: Massaged into the abdomen or limbs to reduce menstrual cramps, muscle spasms, or cramping pain.

• Action: Its warming and soothing properties help relax smooth muscle tissue.

3. Nerve Pain and Neuralgia

• Uses: Used in external applications for trigeminal neuralgia, shingles pain, and nerve-related discomfort.

• Mechanism: Mild local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory effects help reduce pain perception.

4. Vein and Circulatory Support

• Uses: Traditionally used to support varicose veins and poor circulation.

• Action: Rue’s flavonoids, especially rutin, help strengthen capillaries and veins and support vascular tone.

5. Antifungal and Antimicrobial

• Uses: Occasionally used on minor skin infections, fungal conditions (like athlete's foot), or insect bites.

• Mechanism: Contains essential oil constituents with mild antiseptic action.

Safety and Cautions

• Rue is a potent herb: The essential oil is too strong for direct use and may be toxic. Infused oil is gentler but should still be used with caution.

• Do not use during pregnancy: Rue can stimulate uterine contractions.

• Photosensitivity: Rue oil may increase sensitivity to sunlight; avoid UV exposure after application.

• Skin testing: Always perform a patch test before broader use.

Common Applications

• Massage oils: Blended into massage oils for muscular and joint relief.

• Compresses: Infused oil applied to cloth and used as a warm compress.

• Salves and ointments: Combined with beeswax or shea butter for targeted topical use.
