The aroma of Rosewood Essential Oil may be subtle, but its far from unforgettable. Rosewood essential oil with its sweet, woody and fruity aroma has made a name for itself in both holistic aromatherapy and also the fragrance and soap industry.
Health Benefits
Rosewood Essential Oil comes from giant rosewood evergreen trees that are native to Brazil and Peru. The trees belong to the same family of aromatic trees as camphor, bay, cassia and cinnamon.
While rosewood trees generally are known for use in producing furniture and other wooden products, Rosewood Essential Oil has a number of health benefits.

- Antiseptic: The oil can help protect infection and heal wounds from minor cuts, abrasions and insect bites.
- Insecticide: Rosewood Essential Oil is considered to have insecticidal properties and is used against mosquitos, fleas, ants and lice.
- Stimulant: Rosewood Essential Oil stimulates the body and various organ systems and metabolic functions.
