                        Fun Fact

                        Palmarosa oil has a rose like aroma and has been used as a cheaper substitute for very expensive rose essential oil.

                        Palmarosa Research

                        Limited scientific research was found on palmarosa. It has shown in vitro antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antifungal action. Further, it has shown insecticidal and repelling activity, with noteworthy action against the mosquito that causes malaria. It has also shown antibacterial activity against the microbe that causes skin acne and antiparasitic activity. More research to back up folkloric remedies is warranted on all these topics.
