Tuberose essential oil is one of the lesser known oils, but it has some powerful benefits and uses when applied in aromatherapy. You can use this oil at home with a diffuser, by adding a couple of drops to a bath, lotions, or by making a massage oil to enjoy some of these benefits.
Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) has an interesting history. Believed to be first used for its healing properties in Mexico, this plant flourishes in tropical conditions and only flowers after two years.
The steam distillation process used for many oils doesn’t work effectively on the tuberose flowers, so a solvent extraction process is used. It’s one of the rarer oils and often is a little more expensive. But it’s worth the extra cost and everyone should have a bottle in their collection in my opinion.

Try some of the following as suggested methods of use:
Aromatic – This is a great oil to diffuse. It has a lovely floral scent, and a lot of the health benefits can be gained through breathing in this oil being diffused around the home.
Topically – You can make a massage oil by mixing a few drops with a good carrier oil, or by adding a few drops to an unscented lotion. It’s great for skin and works well as a muscle relaxant.
Warm Bath – One of my favorite ways to use oils is by putting a couple of drops in a hot bath. You also use in a hot shower if you’re creating a lot of steam.
Inhalation – If you want to use tuberose to sleep better or relieve some mental tension try putting a couple of drops on your pillow or breathing in directly from a tissue.
Tuberose Essential Oil Side Effects and Precautions
You should always seek medical advice before using if you are pregnant, have a chronic disease, or think you may be allergic. I always advise diluting essential oils with carrier oils before using them topically and never let them come into contact with broken skin or sores.
When using an absolute oil remember that you should not use them internally. Check this post on which oils are safe for ingesting for more information.
Keep in mind that all oils and brands are different. When using an oil for the first time always test on a small area of skin. Follow any instruction on the label and keep away from sensitive areas such as the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
