FAQs

What is Ho Wood essential oil, and where does it come from?
Ho Wood Essential Oil comes from Cinnamomum camphora Ho-Sho in the Lauraceae family. It is wild-crafted in China and obtained from the wood of the tree. Its aroma is soft, sweet and slightly spicy.
Why do people sometimes use Ho Wood instead of rosewood?
Ho Wood may be used as a substitute for rosewood because the scent is similar and the chemical profile is closely related. It contains around 80 to 90% linalool, which gives it its gentle, floral-woody character. That makes it a useful oil when a softer aroma is wanted.
How is Ho Wood essential oil commonly used in aromatherapy?
It is often chosen for respiratory support. It is also used in massage oils for everyday muscular aches and pains. The scent is calm and rounded, so it blends well with other oils.
Are there any safety points I should know before using it?
Ho Wood Essential Oil is non toxic and non irritant, but it may cause sensitisation in some individuals. As with any essential oil, it is sensible to patch test diluted blends first. If you know you react to fragranced products, take extra care.
How long does Ho Wood essential oil keep?
Unopened, it has a shelf life of 36 months. Once opened, it is best used within 12 months. Keeping the bottle tightly closed helps preserve the aroma.
