Sandalwood Essential Oils

Sandalwood is one of those incredible oils that acts on many different levels of the body, mind and spirit, and it is not surprising that it is so revered.

• It is at the same time spiritual and grounding, earthy and ethereal, harmonising and liberating, relaxing and uplifting.
• For meditation Sandalwood can be blended with Patchouli, Myrrh, Rock Rose and Spikenard.
• It combines beautifully with Rose, Jasmine, two other oils forever associated with liberation and higher consciousness.
• Sandalwood also has use in cosmetics and skincare, being soothing and cooling – blend with German Camomile, Helichrysum or Lavender to soothe irritated skin.

It takes 60 years before the Sandalwood tree is ready to give its oil, and the current explosion of interest in this oil was not anticipated many years ago. As a result, Indian Sandalwood, which is considered to have the most wide-ranging effect, has become an endangered species and the only oil that you should purchase carries the AGD mark (approved by the Indian Government). Pacific Sandalwood is a great alternative.
