Ocotea Therapeutic Grade™ Essential Oil
Ocotea Essential Oil (Ocotea quixos) — Young Living's newest therapeutic grade essential oil, Ocotea, is extracted from the stem and leaves of the ocotea tree in Ecuador and is related to the cinnamon species. This essential oil has an aroma that is different from any common cinnamon. Ocotea has the highest level of alpha humulene of any essential oil and also has natural cleansing and purifying properties.
Ocotea is wild crafted and distilled at Finca Botánica Aromática, Young Living's farm and distillery in Ecuador. Ocotea is harvested from a large tree found in the Amazon Basin of Ecuador, from sea level up to 1,500 meters in altitude. The trees are divided into male and female trees, with only the female trees producing foliage suitable for distillation into essential oils. Historical usage of ocotea dates back more than 500 years, when it was used to aromatize sweets and cakes.
Though there are hints of a cinnamon base, ocotea is different from traditional cinnamon. Ocotea has high levels of alpha humulene — one of the highest of any known essential oil. Alpha humulene can balance the body's internal response to irritation. Only copaiba essential oil has comparable levels of this natural plant compound.
Ocotea also contains the molecule, eucalyptol, which supports proper lung functions.
Primary Benefits:
- Traditionally used as a disinfectant and for digestive support.*
- Highest levels of alpha humulene in any known essential oil which helps balance the body's internal response to irritation and injury, reducing swelling.*
- Far less skin sensitivity than cinnamon bark or cassia.
- Reduces blood sugar levels (1-3 drops under tongue)* by lowering cortisol levels which lowers insulin.
- Can lower cortisol levels which lowers insulin which can result in losing weight much easier*. Take 2 drops 4 times a day.
- Can also eliminate parasites and candida.*
Did You Know?
- Ocotea is found in Stress Away™ Essential Oil Roll-On.
- Ocotea has a relatively low concentration of cinnamaldehyde (less than 5 percent), which is a natural plant chemical that can trigger sensitization reactions. Traditional cinnamon can contain up to 50 percent cinnamaldehyde.
- Every two years the ocotea tree produces large flowers known as "ishpingo" or "flor de canela." Look for Ishpingo essential oil in a couple of years!
