Description: This has a clean, sweet and floral woody aroma. Very similar to Rosewood in scent but chemical properties are different. White Camphor is distilled from the wood of this tree, while Ho Leaf comes from the leaves of the Ho Sho variety of the camphor tree and contains linalool (80-90%). The properties are similar to camphor, only milder as the leaves contain practically no camphor notes. It is produced from a renewable resource while Rosewood remains endangered.
It is a calming and comforting oil and balances the emotions. It is non-toxic and non-irritant but with possible sensitization in some individuals. Some aromatherapy uses are for: acne, dermatitis, general skin care, headaches, colds, flu, depression, nausea, scars, sensitive skin, wrinkles.
Add a few drops to a diffuser or a hot bath to help relieve stress and tension. Would make a nice chest rub when well-diluted.
