They refer to it as <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span>, Kuai Mu, and <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> Mu. The scientific name is Chamaecyparis formosensis \u2013 \u201cfalse <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">cedar from Formosa\u201d. Another common name is Red Hinoki. When you visit Japan you will see many large red \u201cTori\u201d shrine gateways made from imported <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> logs. Many ancient Japanese temples and shrines were built with imported <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> lumber. All temples in Taiwan are built with <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> logs and lumber.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p><span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> is Taiwan\u2019s most unique essential oil. <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> trees grow in cloud-covered subtropical Rain Forests near the top of the many 9000 foot towering mountains of Taiwan. <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> trees are massive in size and ancient in age. Other trees in the Rain Forest come and go every 100-400 years. <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> trees live to be as old as 3000-4000 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Even after <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> trees die of old age they remain standing as leaf-less sentinels in the otherwise green forest. <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> trees do not decay from the wet conditions in the forest. Yet <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> is a SUSTAINABLE essential oil.<\/p>\n<p>By Taiwanese national law no person is allowed to cut down <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span>trees \u2013 only Mother Nature. In Taitung region where Dr. Ginn Lee distills<span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> essential oil they have received 53 inches of rain so far this year (that\u2019s 4 feet 5 inches). That\u2019s nothing! In the XiangYang Shan and Yushan mountains where <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> flourishes the annual rainfall is 108-144 inches (9-12 feet of rain each year)!<\/p>\n<p>Such heavy rains and steep mountain slopes cause thousands of landslides each year. These mountain landslides carry <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> trees and logs into ravines, streams, rivers and eventually the ocean. Each year enormous <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> logs are collected from the rivers and ocean.<\/p>\n<p>The logs are cut into thick lumber at sawmills. The lumber is used to build temples, monuments and expensive buildings. These wooden structures last forever in the heavy rainfalls of Taiwan. The scrap pieces of <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span>lumber and sawdust are collected for steam distillation to isolate <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span>essential oil.<\/p>\n<p>To me <span class=\"highlightNode\">Hong Kuai<\/span> essential oils smells like \u201crainforest, woody, sesquiterpenes\u201d and makes me feel \u201cpeaceful, confident, focused, decisive and engaged to act\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/exploringeo\/posts\/1849090658643845?match=aG9uZyBrdWFp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. Cole Woolley<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would like you to understand why I cherish every drop and whiff of Hong Kuai essential oil.
