Ho Wood

Cinnamomum camphora ct. linalool

Ho Wood essential oil

Ho wood essential oil is steam-distilled from the wood of Cinnamomum camphora ct. linalool, a camphor tree chemotype that accumulates linalool (>95%) rather than camphor. This makes it a sustainable and less phytotoxic source of linalool compared to rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora). Linalool has extensive documented sedative, anxiolytic, and antimicrobial activity.[1][2]
