Experience the enchanting aroma of Amyris essential oil, often referred to as West Indian Sandalwood oil due to its sandalwood-like scent. This luxurious oil is extracted through steam distillation from the bark and branches of the Amyris balsamifera tree. Renowned for its high oil content, the wood is known locally as candle wood, as it can burn on its own like a candle.

With a rich history of use, this oil has been treasured for its therapeutic properties. It has been traditionally employed to:

• Clean wounds and support healing
• Treat influenza and diarrhoea
• Alleviate cystitis and vaginal infections
• Ease anxiety and tension when used in a vaporiser
• Relieve insomnia and enhance intimacy, acting as an aphrodisiac
• Treat coughs, colds, and bronchitis
• Provide calming effects during meditation
• Act as a muscle relaxant and emollient

The botanical origins of this exquisite oil were not fully understood until 1886 when microscopic analyses distinguished it from true sandalwood. The Amyris balsamifera tree flourishes in the wilds of Haiti. For ancient cultures, essential oils were considered more precious than gold, valued for their remarkable healing and aromatic properties.
