Fresh cut wood has a magnificent aroma that can bring to mind days camping outdoors, a new home, or carpentry at its very best. Muhuhu captures that aroma.
Also known as African Sandalwood, Muhuhu possesses an enticing woody smokiness that may calm stress. Amazingly, like many other woody essential oils, Muhuhu improves with age.
Native to the untouched lands of Kenya, Tanzania and the African Coast, the hardwood of the Muhuhu trees is utilized for providing gorgeous flooring. Because Edens Gardens tries to eliminate waste with every step, only the extra cut material is steam distilled to produce Muhuhu essential oil.
