==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. (I would 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.
