A rare, woody essential oil with a warm and grounding aroma

Hong Kuai by Young Living is obtained through steam distillation from the heartwood of the Taiwania tree (Chamaecyparis formosensis), a unique conifer that grows in the mountainous regions of Taiwan. This exclusive essential oil has a warm, rich, woody, and slightly spicy aroma that helps create a sense of calm, balance, and connection with nature.
