Description
Guaiacwood oil, also known as guaiac oil or guaiacwood essential oil, is derived from the wood of the guaiacum tree (Bulnesia sarmientoi). It is obtained through a process of steam distillation, resulting in a rich and woody oil with a unique aroma. Guaiacwood oil is valued for its calming and grounding properties, making it popular in aromatherapy for promoting relaxation and reducing stress.
Medicinally, it is known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and it is often used to soothe muscle and joint discomfort. In perfumery, guaiacwood oil is prized for its warm, smoky, and resinous scent, often used as a base note to add depth and complexity to fragrances.
