Sandalwood Essential Oil
Sandalwood Essential Oil is like a fine wine - it calms the spirit and gets better with age.
Sandalwood's woody, exotic smell is subtle, yet lingering, a favorite amongst perfumers. Its health benefits and longevity make it a favorite amongst aroma therapists.
Sandalwood has a long shelf life, becoming better with age as the oxidation process improves the scent. And, its health benefits are phenomenal. Here's why aroma therapists love this essential oil:
- Sedative/calming effect - Sandalwood does a fantastic job to reduce tension caused by everyday stress and helps those affected by fear, nervous exhaustion and general anxiety.
- Performs miracles on sore throats, dry coughs as well as symptoms of bronchitis and asthma.
- Brings relief to chest infections having a pronounced effect on the mucus membranes.
- Helps relieve urinary tract infections, cystitis and bladder infections.
- Promotes hydration and moisture in the skin relieving inflammation and itching caused by conditions such as eczema. As an astringent, it helps improve overall skin tone and produces great results in oily skin. Sandalwood also helps to prevent scars.
- Sandalwood essential oil is considered by some to be an excellent aphrodisiac.
Sandalwood essential oil goes very well with other essential oils such as bergamot, black pepper, geranium, lavender, myrrh, rose, vetiver and ylang-ylang. It can be used in burners or vaporizers, blended into massage oil or diluted in a bath. It can also be diluted for a gargle or blended into a base cream or lotion for topical application.
Aromatherapy-grade, meticulously extracted from plants by steam distillation.
In other words, this is the "good stuff." These 100% natural essential oils are scientifically tested for purity and contain no chemical solvents, added alcohol or other extenders.
The "Small Print" on Sandalwood Essential Oil
Sandalwood is non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing. That being said, you should always follow the guidance of your alternative health care practitioner or aroma therapist before using this or any other essential oil.
