Special Precautions of Guaiac Wood
Do not confuse with Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens)
Health Benefits and uses of Guaiac Wood are
- Emotionally the oil is relaxing and calming, a wonderful de-stresser. The tree is called sacred by the natives of Paraguay, so the oil might also be a good addition to a sacred or meditative blend.
- Physically it is said to be anti-inflammatory.
- Some sources recommend Guaiacwood Essential Oil as a venous or lymphatic decongestant. (Y could blend it with Cistus for this use.) Come to think of it, aromatically it would compliment Cistus. The blend would be delightful.
- This same decongesting effect would make Guaiacwood useful for treating the pelvic congestion that can accompany or cause PMS.
- Other sources recommend using Guaiacwood in blends to treat gout, rheumatism or arthritis pains, as well as simple fluid retention.
