Throughout history, Amyris wood has been used for torches and candles since its thick, rich oil renders it highly combustible with a long-lasting flame that emits a lovely aroma. In addition, Amyris Essential Oil has been used throughout history to include cleaning wounds, relieving diarrhea, soothing influenza, and supporting the respiratory system, as well as providing fragrance.

Antiseptic
Amyris Essential Oil is, above all, a good antiseptic agent2. Like antiseptic drugs, you can apply it to the affected skin or wounds for its anti-infective effect which inhibits or prevents the growth of microbes after diluting it with a carrier oil.
Supports the Immune System
There are several essential oils that can be used to aid in digestion, coughs, colds, nervousness, and stress, and Amyris is certainly one of them. It can also support healthy blood pressure when used in aromatherapy. In addition, it also promotes feelings of relaxation and lessens stress and anxiety1.
Antispasmodic
As an antispasmodic, Amyris helps with muscle cramps and spasms in the involuntary muscles of the stomach3. Therefore, you can topically apply diluted Amyris Essential Oil to the aching area or as a hot compress.
Incense
If you want to enhance your concentration and focus1, Amyris Essential Oil also works great as incense since it helps promote concentration and awareness. In short, you achieve a sharp, but quiet mind! It’s the aroma that provides the creative energy and the relaxing atmosphere conducive to work, study, or meditation.

What Earthies Are Saying About It
Things to Remember When Using This Oil
The consistency of Amyris Essential Oil is so thick that it is not efficient to use a euro dropper cap dispenser like that of thin oils. Therefore, we recommend using a glass dropper. But, it is not advisable to use the glass dropper with its rubber head-pump as an essential oil lid/cover. Instead, store your oil with the screw-type cap that comes with the bottle. Clean your glass dropper with alcohol. Consider designating a separate glass dropper for every thick essential oil.
Always dilute an essential oil when using on the skin. This essential oil is unlikely to cause skin irritation when diluted properly. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly.
