Rosewood Oil Benefits

Priya Johnson
Rosewood oil is not only known for its stress-relieving properties, but also for its ability to provide relief from conditions like cough, cold, sinusitis, dry skin, acne, etc. Moreover, this oil is also used in perfumes and deodorants for the fragrance it emanates.
Rosewood essential oil is obtained by extracting the wood chippings of the rosewood tree, via steam distillation. The oil emanates a sweet, woody, spicy, and floral fragrance that is extremely pleasing to the senses. Its wonderful aroma is what makes it a popular fragrance ingredient in many cosmetic products. However, this oil is also known for its therapeutic properties―anti-depressant, slightly analgesic, aphrodisiac, antiseptic, antiviral, and stimulant properties.

Let's take a look at its benefits in detail.

For Acne

Application of this essential oil on the face, on a regular basis, helps reduce onset of blackheads, pimples, and acne. It controls the amount of sebum secreted by the oil glands, and prevents problems arising due to them.

Reduces Stress

Like other aromatherapy oils, this oil also has a calming and relaxing effect on the body and mind. Lighting an aromatic candle infused with rosewood oil, helps enhance one's mood and ease stress.

Aphrodisiac Properties

Its aphrodisiac properties help treat impotence or frigidity issues. Moreover, it also arouses sexual desire and improves sexual performance.

Heals Wounds

Rosewood's antiseptic properties make it a suitable treatment for wounds like cuts, insect bites, etc. Dabbing some of this oil onto the wound will help protect the cut from contracting infections, and will also help it heal faster.

Alleviates Cough, Cold, and Sinusitis

This oil helps treat common cold, sinusitis, cough, etc., which is why it is used in vapor therapy. Adding a few drops of this oil into one's bath water can also help relieve headaches, sinus-problems, fevers, etc. It also helps alleviate muscle pain.

Treats Asthma

Since rosewood oil can control smooth muscle contractions, it helps control bronchial disorders and asthma.

For the Skin

This essential oil is good for all skin types. It promotes tissue regeneration and leaves the skin feeling clean, healthy, soft, and glowing. Combing 4 drops of this oil with equal amounts of sandalwood oil and frankincense oil, and adding it to 4 tablespoons of almond oil, will give you your own skin care oil. Pour it into a bottle and seal the bottle well. Apply this oil on your face and body on a regular basis.

Anti-aging Properties

Its cell stimulation and tissue-regeneration properties make it a suitable oil to treat wrinkled, aging, and mature skin. Into ten ounces of body lotion or face cream, add 20-25 drops of rosewood oil. Mix the oil into the cream and apply it daily for maximum benefits.
You can also blend this oil with some carrier oils like jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, etc., and apply it on the thighs and other areas affected by stretch marks. It helps reduce stretch marks and appearance of new ones.
Rosewood oil is also known to be an effective insecticide and repels bugs, ants, mosquitoes, etc. It is also used as a room freshener. This oil's floral aroma makes it a suitable ingredient for perfumes and deodorants. Purchase this oil and reap its benefits.
