What is stacte drops?

Stacte drops are a type of essential oil that is derived from the resin of the storax tree (Liquidambar orientalis). The tree is primarily found in the Middle East, and the resin is collected by making cuts into the bark and allowing it to ooze out and harden into beads.

Stacte drops are valued for their sweet and spicy aroma, which is often described as warm and balsamic. They are commonly used in perfumes, cosmetics, and soaps, as well as in aromatherapy and for medicinal purposes.

In traditional medicine, stacte drops have been used to treat a variety of ailments, including respiratory issues, coughs, and digestive problems. They are also thought to have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Stacte drops are typically sold in small bottles as a concentrated essential oil. They should be used with caution and diluted before use, as they can be irritating to the skin if applied directly. They should also be kept out of reach of children and pets, as they can be toxic if ingested.
