Benzoin, is not really an essential oil, precisely speaking it is a resinoid. It is well worth trying if you have not done so yet. It offers a fragrance experience all of its own. Its divine aroma is close to that of Vanilla yet at a very affordable price. The oil is known for its etherial aspects appealing especially to those who enjoy using oils for meditation practices. Its therapeutic benefits range from clearing negative energy, depression and grief to releasing anger and anxiety. Once tried this is likely to become a staple in your essential oil apothecary.
