Sandalwood Essential Oil
Sweet, sensual scent great for guys...
plus it's a skincare superhero!
Sandalwood essential oil has a deep, exotic scent that warms you up, lifts your mood and creates a softly sensual atmosphere.
Enjoy exchanging massages with your partner using a few drops of sandalwood essential oil diluted in a
carrier oil.
Sandalwood incense is very popular and can help promote calm and focus during meditation.
In addition to its grounding, de-stressing effect on the emotions, sandalwood is also excellent for nourishing dry, sensitive skin
and helping heal eczema, scars and stretch marks. It's a good oil for anti-aging formulas.
Aromatherapists often use sandalwood to help relieve bronchitis and laryngitis.
Gargle with one drop of sandalwood oil mixed into a cup of water.
The better quality (and of course more expensive) sandalwood essential oil traditionally comes from India,
but unfortunately it's being over-harvested and is in danger of becoming extinct.
A less expensive, less prized sandalwood oil is produced in Australia. It has a less intense scent, but it's a more eco-friendly choice.
I found that buying a less expensive sandalwood was a big mistake - the scent and therapeutic
properties just are NOT the same when you economize here. It's not worth it - if you're going to buy sandalwood, go for the good stuff!
