BUDDHA WOOD OIL

**Not available for regular purchase, only occasionally as a promotional oil** 

Description

Buddha wood is a small tree that grows traditionally in the grazing land of eastern Australia. This sturdy shrub was traditionally used by the Aboriginal Peoples of Australia. Uniquely, Buddha Wood essential oil is predominantly made of the bicyclic sesquiterpenes known as eremophilones. Also known as Australian Desert Rosewood, many compare the aroma and benefits of Buddha Wood essential oil to common Sandalwood, although the chemistry and aroma differ. With more prominent balsamic and smoke notes, Buddha Wood has been commonly used in personal fragrances—often for men. Use Buddha Wood as part of your soothing, calming meditative practice, or try after physical activity. 

Uses

  • Blend with citrus or floral oils in a roller bottle or your favorite dōTERRA diffuser to create an invigorating, yet earthy aromatic experience.

  • Add a few drops of Buddha Wood to your daily dōTERRA moisturiser for an enhanced aromatic daily moisture.
