Guaiacwood has been used for centuries by Native Americans in meditative practices and wellness ceremonies. Additionally, it is frequently incorporated into perfumery and skincare products. The essential oil, derived through steam distillation from the heartwood of the Bulnesia sarmientoi tree, possesses an earthy, soothing aroma with faintly sweet undertones. When mixed with a carrier oil, guaiacwood essential oil is suitable for both topical use and aromatherapy. Its woody fragrance fosters a tranquil, carefree ambiance. doTERRA’s CPTG® certified guaiacwood essential oil is produced ethically and sustainably in Paraguay. Through collaboration with a partner in supplier operations, efforts are made to preserve the Gran Chaco forest, regarded as one of the world’s most biologically diverse regions.
