Rosewood Essential Oil: Comprehensive Profile and Therapeutic Benefits

Rosewood essential oil is a precious and rare medicine. This tree carries a very pleasing, warm, and woodsy aroma that has been used in aromatherapy for spiritual, uplifting, and strengthening purposes. Rosewood works wonders for the skin, helping to regenerate on a cellular level, as well as improving emotional and physical health and well-being.

Rosewood is extracted from the 
trunk of the rosewood tree, also known as Brazilian evergreen tree, through steam distillation. The trunks of the trees are usually a red-colored wood. The essential oil is typically 
clear or has a light golden color.

Rosewood is currently endangered. It's journey to endangered status is a tale of beauty leading to overexploitation. In the early 1900s, the wood's exquisite aroma and rich color made it highly sought after in high-end perfumery and luxury furniture markets. This surge in demand led to widespread deforestation, particularly in the Amazon rainforest and Southeast Asia. 

The slow growth rate of rosewood trees, taking decades to reach maturity, compounded the problem, making it difficult for populations to recover from over harvesting. Illegal logging, often in protected areas, further decimated wild populations. 

By the early 21st century, several rosewood species were critically endangered, prompting international trade restrictions and conservation measures to protect remaining populations and encourage sustainable cultivation practices.

Over the past twenty years, there has been a significant rise in rosewood plantations, offering a sustainable alternative to wild harvesting and supporting conservation efforts. We are now sourcing from a sustainable farm that is actively planting and intentionally growing Rosewood trees.
