What are the uses of amyris essential oil?

Amyris essential oil, Latin scientific name: (Amyris genus) Amyrisbalsamifera, Latin scientific name: (Amyris genus) Amyrisbalsamifera. Amyris grows wild on the hillsides of Haiti. Commonly found in small thickets, it is an evergreen tree that bears lovely white flowers, but its valuable resin flows from the bark. Although it is also called "West Indian sandalwood", it is not a member of the Santalaceae family. The quality and properties of amyris essential oil produced in different regions also vary; the quality depends mainly on the age of the tree and its moisture content. If the wood is cut too small, the amount of essential oil that can be extracted is also reduced.
