After maybe 4 months of hard search around my country (Brazil) for some source of Safrol , after looking for every essencial oil store around here, I think I found!! Sassy oil is kinda of hard to obtain here...A law to protect the natural enviroment here doensnīt allow anymore the exploration of this safrol tree..... So I thought my journey to make some of the honey has just finished before it really started..... I thought of importing it from the EUA, via internet, but as far as I know it is getting rare around there too, and itīs some risky maybe... But reading on a forum from here about the subject (something rare), someone said something about an oil that is commonly sold here, very common in fact... And the person said it was the oil of Piper callosum, reading about that, I found it was 70% safrol (leaf oil)... I will buy it tomorrow, and if it has some safrol I think I can find out, by the smell for example... (If someone have any idea to help me know if the oil has some safrol or donīt(easy method) please tell me.....). So, one more thing....I donīt understand much things about essencial oils, but I think if it is the oil of the Pepper (it is in fact a pepper??) it must be the LEAF oil....But Iīm not sure....As soon as I find out Iīll post here... |

It's got safrole in it. I got ahold of some of the mexican safrole plant (piper argentium???) and rubbed the leaves.. sweet root-beery smell... Infinite Radiant Light - THKRA |

Iīm still searching for it, cause thereīs some kind of confusion related to the popular name of the oil.. But Iīm optimistic!!! This afternoon, I got a catalog, with the name of several oils a company from here sells, with the price...And I found this: Ocotea pretiosa (brazilian sassafras) - leaf oil, by steam destilation |
