Botanically termed as Bursera delpechiana, linaloe is an aromatic plant known for producing aromatic oil which is used as a source of linalool and linalyl acetate. Native to Mexico, Brusera Delpechiana is commercially cultivated in India and many Central and South American countries. India produces nearly 50 tons of oil in a year. Apart from linaloe it is also known as Mexican Linaloe Tree, Indian Lavender, and Tree of Fragrance.

 

Plant Description

Linaloe tree (also the Lavander of India) is a member of the Burseraceae family. The berries and wood of the plant produce an essential oil that is used worldwide in the perfumery industry. It has feather-shaped and camphor scented leaves. The plant produces small scented white flowers which blossom during April. Linaloe tree requires good sunlight and moderate soil (having 6-7 pH) for obtaining optimum production.

Linaloe Oil

Linaloe berry essential oil is mostly extracted from the berries and wood of the linaloe tree by the process of distillation. Oil is extracted from wood or from air-dried husks or pericarp of fruiting berries before their dehiscence. Oil thus obtained, produces a pleasing and aromatic odor resembling a mixture of lemon and jasmine. It is important in perfumery as the source of linalyl acetate and is used as a substitute for the oil of bergamot. Generally, fruits of the tree are also included in the process, since this increases the yield of oil considerably. For centuries, this volatile essential oil has been widely used for perfumery industry and incense purposes.

Linaloe Berry has some similarities to Bergamot Mint and Lavender and the three oils blend beautifully together. Use it for cooling, and in calming, soothing blends. It is emotionally uplifting and at the same time, calming and great for assisting sleep. It has a strong antispasmodic action, especially when the pain is from either injury or muscle soreness. It also has great infection, or irritation, often causing pain, swelling, heat, or redness. সহজ বাংলা: শরীরের প্রদাহ; ব্যথা, ফোলা বা লালভাব হতে পারে।" data-rx-term="inflammation" data-rx-definition="Inflammation is the body’s response to injury, infection, or irritation, often causing pain, swelling, heat, or redness. সহজ বাংলা: শরীরের প্রদাহ; ব্যথা, ফোলা বা লালভাব হতে পারে।">inflammation, pain, or swelling. সহজ বাংলা: প্রদাহ/ফোলা/ব্যথা কমায়।" data-rx-term="anti-inflammatory" data-rx-definition="Anti-inflammatory means reducing inflammation, pain, or swelling. সহজ বাংলা: প্রদাহ/ফোলা/ব্যথা কমায়।">anti-inflammatory action.

Linaloe Wood Essential Oil Side Effects

It may cause an allergy. If the skin reacts after application, refrain from using it and consult a doctor.

How To Use Linaloe Wood Essential Oil

  1. Diffuse the essential oil to reap its benefits. Create an aromatherapy mix with it to emphasize certain energies and moods.
  2. Dilute it using a carrier oil like coconut oil before applying on skin. It can be used simply for its scent or for treating certain skin areas.
  3. The oil is safe to be taken up by the body. Add the oil in sweet delicacies for the sweet taste and nice scent.

How To Make Linaloe Wood Essential Oil

The oil is extracted from the bark of the Linaloe tree. Its bark is cut into pieces in order to make it easy to do steam distillation. In steam distillation, the bark pieces are mixed with water and are placed in a certain compartment in a still. They are heated so that the solution evaporates. The steam is transferred to another compartment by pipes. At the other compartment, steam will be condensed, and the essential oil will be extracted by natural separation of water and oil.

Linaloe Wood Essential Oil Recipe

It will take a long time before finally harvesting the oil from the linaloe tree. In order to extract the oil from the tree, certain steps are done:

  1. Mix linaloe wood in a pot half-full with water.
  2. Put the lid upside down on the pot to make steam fall down to the solution.
  3. Heat the solution until boiling.
  4. Lower the heat and let it boil for 3-4 hours.
  5. Let the solution cool before putting it in a refrigerator for overnight cooling.
  6. The next day a thin film of oil will be observed on top of the solution. Carefully scoop the oil.
  7. Contain the oil in a tinted, glass vial and store in a cool, dry place.

Precautions

  • Not recommended during pregnancy.
  • Could be an irritant on people with very sensitive skin, especially if not diluted properly.
  • Always check with your health care practitioner before using any herbal therapy.
  • Avoid use on broken skin.
  • Keep the Litsea Cubeba essential oil away from children especially babies or infants.
