Amyris is a thick, pale yellow essential oil steam distilled from the wood of a tree native to Haiti and other tropical climates. Because of its very high oil content, native peoples burned it as a torch to light their path through darkness; so another name for it is Torchwood. Amyris is also sometimes called West Indian Sandalwood; however, its properties are different and it is not botanically related to true Sandalwood oil. Directions: Amyris essential oil is superb for relaxation and de-stressing, particularly before sleep. Add 4-5 drops Amyris to your diffuser about 1 hour before going to bed, or add 4 drops Amyris, 2 drops Roman Chamomile, 2 drops Mandarin, and 1 drop Valerian Root essential oils to 1 ounce of lotion or carrier oil and massage onto the upper chest, back of neck, or arms. Amyris, 1 drop Jasmine absolute and 1 drop Rose absolute to help set a mood. You can substitute 1 drop Patchouli or Ylang Ylang for the Rose or Jasmine. Amyris is also used to help improve the appearance of fine lines and the texture of mature skin. Add 3 drops Amyris, 3 drops Frankincense freareana, 2 drops Bergamot, and 1 drop Neroli for sheer skin bliss!
