SANDALWOOD

Sandalwood is an exotic, rich oil...

Its many different uses have made it quite valuable around the world. Used throughout history by Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims in purification and religious ceremonies. Sandalwood has also been an important ingredient in many medicines, perfumes, cosmetics and incense. The essential oil is extracted through steam distilled wood from matured sandalwood trees aged 40-80 years, although it is thought that the older the tree the better. This is because the older it is the more oil that is available and the aroma is stronger.

Aromatherapy practitioners often use this popular oil to soothe anxiety and promote relaxation and tranquility. It has also been known to stimulate sensuality and is considered by some to have mild aphrodisiac qualities. Sandalwood is commonly used for skin and lung concerns. Common conditions that this essential oil can benefit are: bronchitis, laryngitis, chapped/dry skin, oily skin, scars, and stretch marks. Sandalwood should be used with prudence as this very popular tree is slowly returning from near extinction.
