Rosewood Essential Oil has been discontinued due to sustainability issues. We have discovered Ho Wood Essential Oil has very close chemical constituents and almost identical aroma.
Rosewood essential oil has 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 and facial rejuvenation, cancerous and pre-cancerous cells, as well as 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. In the early 1900s, the oil was extremely popular in high-class perfumery, which caused deforestation of the tree. Since then, the demand dwindled, giving the trees the opportunity to grow and thrive.

Indications:
Emotions: Rosewood essential oil is extremely popular with aromatherapists for treating depression. The oil takes away depressed feelings and leaves behind feelings of happiness and strength. The oil also stimulates ones feelings and secretion of hormones. During crisis or high stress situations, the oil can have a very calming and steadying effect on the emotions and nerves, due to the presence of 8-cineole in the oil. 8-cineole is a terpenoid oxide, which has been studied and proven to calm emotions, while stimulating hormones in the body. Along with steadying the nerves, the oil also clears the mind, and has been found very useful during tests and exams. Rosewood is also used as an aphrodisiac, as it stimulates the body and mind to relax and be free from stress and mental clutter.
Skincare: Rosewood essential oil contains a high amount of alpha pinene, an organic compound of the terpene class, or monoterpene. The alpha pinene in the oil has a high anti-bacterial effect. For rosewood, this anti-bacterial effect is extremely useful with the treatment of acne, as well as the clearing of candida. For acne, the oil must be diluted and may then be applied daily to the face for treatment. The oil also contains the chemical componenets of nerol, geraniol, 8-cineole, linalool, and limonene. These chemicals work together to help stimulate skin cells and regenerate tissues. The stimulating and regenerating properties contribute to ultimate rejuvenation of dull, dry, and oily skin. Studies have showed that Rosewood on the skin has an anti-cancer effect, by destroying pre-cancerous and cancerous cells, while leaving healthy cells unaffected. Rosewood will also help restore skin elasticity, promoting smooth and wrinkle free skin.
Physical: Rosewood essential oil serves as an analgesic, a substance that has the ability to relieves headaches, nausea muscle pains, joint pains, and toothaches. The oil is also anti-septic, which can assist healing and the reduction of any infection with a cut or abrasion. Rosewood is commonly used as a deodorant, due to its wonderful aroma, its ability to drive away bacteria, and keep emotions refreshed and the mind revitalized all day. The oil is also a very strong stimulant. Along with hormones and emotions, the oil also stimulates enzymes, bile, stomach acids, circulation, and digestion.
