History
Sandalwood trees are considered sacred in many Eastern cultures. The Ancient Egyptians utilized the tree as a part of their embalming practices. Sandalwood’s many benefits were also used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for everything from urinary infections to aphrodisiacs.
Oil Description
Originally from India, Santalum album, or Indian Sandalwood thrives in desert-like environments. These trees have a profound fragrance, and are known to be centurial. Usually trees between 40-80 years old are harvested for its oil. The alcohol found in sandalwood, santatol, is the chemical component behind the oil’s beneficial properties. These benefits include healthy skin and hair when used topically, as well as creating a peaceful space when diffused.
Cautions
Use with a carrier for sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician if you are pregnant, nursing or under a doctor’s care. Do not put oils directly in your eyes (oils can drip into eyes – if this happens, flush with fractionated coconut oil, not water). Do not drip oils into the ear canal. Avoid sensitive areas.
