Guaiacwood is steam-distilled from the heartwood of the Bulnesia sarmientoi tree and has been used for centuries by Native Americans in wellness practices and ceremonies.
Why Paraguay? Why source Guaiacwood at all from the Gran Chaco Forest? Sustainable sourcing through well managed forests actually helps to not only preserve but regenerate forested lands!
Did You Know?
Guaiacwood trees grow in clusters, and the wood density of the tree is among the most dense in the world. The wood is so dense, in fact, that it sinks in water and one log can burn all through the night. Due to the high oil content and initial oxidation, when cut, the wood turns a deep, rich hue of blue for a time before fading. Guaiacwood is a difficult, complicated oil to produce for a number of reasons. Its density requires that it be ground into sawdust or chips far finer than your average wood oil to distill. And after distillation, if the essential oil is left at room temperature it becomes semi-solid. This is why doTERRA Guaiacwood comes in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil, which allows the oil to be delivered at a consistency that will easily pour from your bottle.
