Rosewood Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil, as its name implies, has both a floral and woody, fragrant and warm. The smell of this oil can help you balance your emotions and is thought to relieve depression.

In addition to its ability to lift your spirits, Rosewood Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil is a very powerful cleanser of the inside of the body. It has been reported to be antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antiparasitic. It is thought to stimulate the cells, bolster the immune system and help the body to regenerate tissue.

Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil of Rosewood is also said to be antimicrobial and has been tested and shown to inhibit bacterial growth better than any other oil that has been tested. Rosewood Oil can be used internally, with one drop diluted in four ounces of rice or soy milk or other liquid, to aid in clearing up infections of all sorts.

Applied to the skin it can help cleanse wounds and is a powerful treatment for athlete's foot. Diluting Therapeutic-Grade Essential Rosewood Oil is usually not necessary for external use because it does not tend to cause reactions other than for those with the most sensitive skin.

Rosewood oil is thought to be safe for children over the age of two. If you are pregnant or have health issues, check with a doctor before trying this oil. Remember to always wash and rinse your hands thoroughly, before and after using any therapeutic-grade essential oil and avoid contact with your eyes. Keep therapeutic-grade essential oils out of the reach of children.

Therapeutic-Grade Rosewood Essential Oil is often used in skin care products because it is soothing and refreshing and has a nice scent. It is also easy to blend with other woodsy-scented oils such as Rosemary, Cedarwood and Frankincense.

Rosewood Oil is said to be beneficial for people with acne or dry skin. It is a skin balancer that may also help revitalize cells and give your skin a healthier appearance. It can be found in some treatments for rosacea and other skin problems, and may also be helpful for minimizing lines and wrinkles on the face.

Some people are hesitant to use Rosewood Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil because the rosewood tree is considered an endangered species. Trees are even sold on the black market to fuel consumers' desire for rosewood products. But the government of Brazil, where most rosewood is harvested, has enacted strict guidelines on the planting and harvesting of rosewood trees, and reputable essential oil retailers buy their trees in sanctioned auctions, so you can rest assured that the product you are using has been harvested in accordance with the law and in hopes that the rosewood tree and its products can be sustained for years to come.
