Ho Wood Essential Oils

These essential oils have an aroma that is floral, woody, and sweet with a thin consistency. They are sometimes referred to ho leaf oils possibly due to the fact that they are steam distilled from not only the wood and bark but sometimes the leaves of the tree. Of all the steam distilled essential oils, these are the most potent source of naturally occurring linalool. They are also referred to as peaceful oils due to their calming effect. Because of this, they are useful to aroma therapists when treating individuals who need to unwind or relax.
