Extraction Method: Steam Distilled
Description: Ho wood Essential Oil is extracted using steam
distillation of crude Camphor resin.
Common Uses: Ho Wood Essential Oil has recently been used as a
replacement for Rosewood Essential Oil because of their similar chemical
properties. It has many similar applications and is considered both stimulating
and relaxing to the mind. Ho Wood is also reported to have anti-depressant,
anti-microbial, anti-septic, aphrodisiac, and bactericidal properties. There
are also claims that it can play a role as a cellular stimulant, cephalic, and
tissue regenerator. Ho Wood is also commonly broken down by its aromatic
components for resale.
Aromatic Scent: Ho Wood Essential Oil has a woody, floral scent that has
sweet and camphoraceous notes.
