What is Ho Wood?

Ho Wood is derived from the wood of the Cinnamomum camphora tree, specifically the linalool-rich chemotype.

Steam-distilled from sustainably sourced wood, ho wood essential oil is widely used in aromatherapy for its calming, balancing, and emotionally supportive properties. Aromatherapy Associates uses Ho Wood to bring softness, harmony, and tranquillity to blends designed for relaxation, emotional wellbeing, and restorative rituals.
