Amber essential oil may help calm the mind, protect heart health, stimulate the libido, eliminate pain, increase circulation, treat respiratory disorders, prevent inflammation, boost the brain and detoxify the body, among others. However, there might be some inherent side effects to amber essential oil as well, such as skin inflammation and gastrointestinal distress, if ingested. Furthermore, children, pregnant women and those with pre-existing conditions and prescribed medications should avoid using this oil without speaking to their doctor.

Amber essential oil is quite unique in the world of essential oils, because it is derived from amber, which is the hardened resin of ancient trees, sometimes hundreds of millions of years old. Pure amber essential oil is extremely expensive – a few hundred dollars per ounce – so most varieties on the market are a combination of amber resin and other carrier oils or essential oils. Therefore, when using this oil, it is important to see what other ingredients are included, to prevent any negative side effects or allergic reactions. Amber essential oil does not have any aroma on its own, but is usually combined with oils that do, such as sandalwood, frankincense or cedarwood. The numerous benefits of this oil blend come from the various compounds in these ingredients which might include succinic acid, sesquiterpenes, incensole, alpha-cedrene, widdrol and thujopsene, all of which can have effects on human health. [1]
