Rosewood

Aniba roseodora-- Steam Distilled from  wood chippings. Rich spicy, floral aroma. Research in October of 1995 has shown this oil to have the highest inhibition rate of all the oils tested against gram positive and gram-negative bacterial growth.  At least 30% of my blends contain this valuable oil.  Rosewood is becoming more difficult to obtain as the trees are endangered now.
