Valerianol: c 21% – This is an unusual molecule that has been well-researched. Ordinarily, it is found in the valerian plant and is responsible for its beneficial effects on sleep.Trials have also demonstrated it to be anti-inflammatory and to have antimicrobial properties. Valerianol is demonstrated to have neuroprotective effects and may be useful in developing future therapeutics for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Interestingly, the routes it uses are helpful in these areas and are still not understood. It is believed that valerianol may also have anti-cancer properties (Benchchem).
You might also see valerianol written as Khusanol. Khus is a vetiver. This constituent contributes to the soporific properties of all of these oils.
Alpha Eudesmol: c 11%-This constituent inhibits vasodilation in the brain by inhibiting calcium channels (Russo, 2017). It has applications for migraine.
Amyris is an evergreen shrub originally native to Haiti, now exported to and grown in many other countries. Now known also as West Indian sandalwood, its natural range extends from southern Florida to Cuba, Jamaica (where our Amyris Essential Oil is produced), Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, and from Mexico, Costa Rica, and Honduras in Central America to northern parts of South America.
It thrives in dry limestone and scrub forests and grows to around 60 feet tall. Its deep, evergreen, glossy leaves are covered with glorious, richly fragranced white flowers. This is what led to its name. Amyron comes from the Greek word meaning heavily scented.
In this case, though, the flowers are of no concern to us because the oil is extracted from the bark, which falls naturally from the tree. Amyris wood is so rich in oil that it burns incredibly brightly when its lit, giving it the name torchwood. Before the island had electricity, Haitian fishermen would light branches as torches to guide them to market at dawn. Even today, torchwood is still used to chase away evil spirits.
Base notes slow thoughts and tranquilize burdened minds. It is extremely good if someone is overly anxious or cannot switch their mind off enough. It is a comforting oil for when life feels very turbulent, anchoring, somehow.
Likewise, base notes are steadying, and Amyris is a lovely meditation to help you concentrate for study. It is grounding and quietening.
Perhaps the most important constituent in Amyris Essential Oil is valerianol. Sedative and relaxing, Amyris is a gorgeous support to the nervous system function and brings deep and blissful sleep.
As the thoughts relax, so does the body. Amyris essential oil is wonderful for massage oils, relaxing the body, mind, and spirit.
Given its soothing nature and the Haitian belief that it will protect against evil spirits, this may be a useful oil to use for nightmares and night terrors.
Amyris Essential Oil is lovely massaged into the neck for headaches or migraines.
Amyris is dreamy.
Boozy, almost.
It is lazy, languid, and sultry.
It feels like a sleeping cat stretching and seducing on the bed, lying in wait.
This is not necessarily an oil for sexual dysfunction per se, but rather one for happy couples who have journeyed together for a while.
Holiday sex, if you will.
That said, it would be a lovely oil to add to nutmeg, tuberose, patchouli, and jasminethose oils that are more knowledgeable about problems in the bedroom.
Traditional medicine cites Amyris as having venous actions.
Add a drop to a compress for painful hemorrhoids, or create a cream.
Again, Amyris is traditionally used for varicose veins. It would be contraindicated to massage varicose veins, so simply make a massage oil or lotion with Amyris Essential Oil and a gentle stroke in only.
Although this sits better in skin care, Amyris Essential Oil is very good for broken capillaries and rosacea.
Amyris Essential Oil also has a mild tonic action on the lymphatic system. It makes a great thigh-smoothing cream blended with stronger detoxifying oils like Juniper, cypress, or fennel. They move the fluids, and Amyris conditions and smooths the skin.
Luscious Amyris Essential Oil, with its rich, deep fragrance, is seductive and alluring. Originally marketed as a substitute for Sandalwood oil when the East Indian Sandalwood Mysore crisis began, this West Indian Sandalwood now holds its own as a well-loved friend in its own right.
It should, however, be noted that despite its name, it isn’t a sandalwood, not least because its chemistry does not include Santanols. This distinction is important since , oddly, the skin has olfactory receptors that can smell Santanol, which then triggers the body to heal the skin. Santanol is also incredibly relaxing and comforting.
Santanol aside, Amyris is still gorgeous for the skin. Its nourishing, smoothing, and moisturizing. Amyris Essential Oil is often used in anti-aging creams, since it is so nourishing and brings a lovely smoothness to the skin.
Its soothing action is also helpful for skin that is itchy, irritated, or sore. Blend with German chamomile or yarrow.
As stated, a drop in a cream supports the circulatory system of the face, easing puffiness around the eyes and moving the pressure away from the walls of broken capillaries.
Lovely for skin care and use in relaxing massage oils.
The fragrance of Amyris Essential Oil is earthy and balsamic. It brings a beautifully heavy note to blends, and while it is not traditionally seen as a fixative essential oil, its moderate aroma lingers and thus can extend the staying power of perfumery blends.
Youll need to think about consistency with Amyris Essential Oil because the size of its molecules restricts it from being useful for everything. It’s thick, rich, golden, molecules refuse to merge with water, so this is pretty useless for room sprays, and its likely to clog your diffuser.
Instead, enjoy its unctuous beauty in creams and massage oils, especially try blending it with vanilla.
Makes a good base, not fixative. Try using it alongside some of the Vinevida fragrance oils.
Gorgeously exotic base note that works well, and an oriental and chypre blend. The deep seductive aroma blends well with floral notes like Rose,Geranium, and Palmarosa. It adds romance to woods, spices, and resins, nd works well in masculine blends. However, its richness adds class to citrus notes like lemon (Lemongrass, Citronella, Lemon Verbena) as well as Lime notes too. Our favorite oil to blend with Amyris Essential Oil is Vanilla.
The scent of Amyris Essential Oil blends with many oils. With this one, the challenge is not so much imagining which oils, but rather working out how much. Its volume is loud, so start with just one drop of Amyris Essential Oil and build around that. Potentially, you may need way more citrus notes, etc, than you think.
