Amyris Essential Oil 100% Pure

Description

Amyris essential oil, often called “West Indian Sandalwood,” is a grounding and calming oil valued as a sustainable alternative to true sandalwood. Distilled from the wood of Amyris balsamifera, this oil exudes a smooth, balsamic aroma with hints of vanilla and warm wood. It has long been prized in perfumery for its fixative qualities, and in aromatherapy for promoting relaxation, meditation, and emotional balance.

Benefits & Uses

• Provides deep relaxation and emotional grounding
• Supports restful sleep and calms nervous tension
• Acts as a natural fixative in perfumes and blends
• Encourages meditation, mindfulness, and spiritual connection
• Moisturizes and nourishes dry or mature skin when diluted in carrier oils

Active Components & How They Work

Amyris essential oil contains sesquiterpenes and oxygenated compounds such as valerianol and eudesmol:

• Valerianol: Offers calming and sedative-like effects on the nervous system
• Eudesmol: Contributes to grounding, anti-inflammatory, and balancing properties
• Sesquiterpenes: Provide stability, longer-lasting aroma, and synergistic effects for relaxation

These components give Amyris its reputation as a grounding, tranquil oil often used in stress relief and spiritual practices.

Energetic, Spiritual & Symbolic Properties

• Chakras: Root and Third Eye (stability, intuition, inner vision)
• Color Correspondence: Deep Brown and Violet (earth energy, spiritual depth)
• Planetary Influence: Saturn and Moon (grounding, introspection, calm cycles)
