An oil that has the word rose in it, undoubtedly has positive and lovely benefits attached. Do not be confused though, rosewood is completely different than rose, the flower. The former comes from an evergreen tree that can be found traditionally in Brazil and Peru.
These trees can reach up to 40 meters tall and are known for their pinkish, red bark and pale flowers. Once it is transformed into an oil by way of distillation, it can be used for many different purposes. Here are some of the amazing health benefits associated with rosewood essential oil.
Mood Lifter
If you are someone who's mood can easily be shifted or changed depending on minor things, this is a good oil to have on hand. Whether you have situational depression or something a bit stronger, this oil can help to liven your mood and make your troubles seem a bit more manageable.
If you are going through something tough in your life, whether it's something professionally, personally, or physically, this oil can help to transform your mood. Soak a cotton ball with the oil or add a few drops to your oil burner.
Treat Wounds
When you suffer from a cut, scrape or burn, it's important to take the necessary precautions quickly in order for the injury to heal. It's also vital to do this so that it doesn't become infected or become susceptible to germs.
Just a couple of drops applied to the area will help to clean the wound and protect it from the harsh elements that can be dangerous if it goes untended. The presence of rosewood oil will also help the wound to heal at a faster rate.
Deodorant
If you've been trying to figure out a way to toss traditional deodorant in favor of a more natural option, you should definitely invest in this oil. Because of the antibacterial properties it kills the stuff that causes odor in the first place. It also leaves behind a pleasant and enriching scent.
Try mixing some rosewood oil with some coconut oil and apply it liberally as you would a regular deodorant. You'll be surprised at just how effective it is at keeping bad scents at bay.
Insecticide
Bugs do not like this stuff. Whether you are trying to ward off ants, fleas, mosquitoes, bed bugs or lice, this oil will definitely help. You can use it in a variety of different ways. If you are having a BBQ or a cookout and don't want to be bothered by flies, make some rosewood oil candles and burn them at all of the tables.
If you notice that your house is being infiltrated by stubborn, pesky little ants, spray the baseboards with rosewood oil and lemongrass oil mixed with rubbing alcohol. That will keep the little pests away. You can also apply the oil directly to your skin if you're going to be outdoors camping and don't want to return with tons of itchy mosquito bites. This oil will go a long way with helping to repel bugs.
