Essential Oil – Ho Wood

• A gentle, sweet, and woody-floral aroma.
• It is incredibly smooth and "round," lacking any of the medicinal or sharp edges found in other wood oils.
• It features a soft, rosy top note followed by a warm, creamy wood base.
• Many describe it as "peaceful" and "mellow," smelling like a blend of expensive sandalwood and a very faint, sweet lily.

• Managing Insomnia: Its high linalool content makes it one of the most sedative oils in aromatherapy; it helps quiet a "chattering" mind before bed.
• Reducing Anxiety: Provides a gentle "buffering" effect against stress, helping to lower the heart rate and soothe the nervous system.
• Calming Hyperactivity: Useful for children (highly diluted) or adults who feel "revved up" or unable to settle down.
• Emotional Grounding: Helps individuals feel centered during times of emotional upheaval or major life transitions.

Gentle Skin Care

• Cell Regeneration: Like Rosewood, it is excellent for mature skin, helping to stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
• Soothing Sensitivity: Its cooling and anti-inflammatory nature makes it perfect for calming red, irritated, or "angry" skin conditions.
• Antiseptic Cleansing: Its mild antimicrobial properties help clear minor breakouts and skin congestion without the harshness of Tea Tree.
• Tissue Healing: Often added to blends for cuts, scrapes, or "over-stretched" skin to support the natural healing process.

Immune & Physical Support

• Gentle Immune Tonic: Acts as a mild immunostimulant, making it a good choice for those who are physically drained or recovering from a long illness.
• Muscle Relaxant: When added to a massage oil from clubarome.com, it helps ease "tension knots" and muscular spasms caused by stress.
• Chills & Fever: Historically used in a lukewarm compress to help the body regulate temperature during the early stages of a cold.

Spiritual & Subtle Aromatherapy

• The "Peace" Oil: Used to create a peaceful, meditative atmosphere that encourages a sense of spiritual wholeness.
• Opening the Heart: Associated with the heart chakra, it is used to help people release "heavy" emotions like grief or resentment.
• Yoga & Mindfulness: Frequently diffused during restorative yoga practices to help deepen the breath and maintain focus on the present moment.

• Ho Wood became the global substitute for Brazilian Rosewood after Rosewood was placed on the CITES endangered species list.
• It offers a nearly identical scent profile and chemical benefit while being much more environmentally sustainable.

• Generally very safe and non-toxic. It is one of the gentlest oils for the skin.
• However, because it is so high in linalool, individuals with a specific linalool allergy should use it with caution.
• Always dilute to 2% for topical application
