Distilled from the heart of the sandalwood tree, sandalwood essential oil has a rich, sweet and woody aroma with subtle smoky undertones that have a powerful relaxing effect, helping to alleviate anxiety and stress as well as aid a good night’s sleep.
Highly prized in skin care for its anti-aging properties, Sandalwood not only adds a relaxing aroma, it can also help to heal scars and blemishes, soothe irritated skin and moisturise dry skin. Its gentle astringent and effective antiseptic qualities can also help to balance oily skin and reduce acne.
A versatile essential oil when it comes to healing, sandalwood has traditionally been used for urinary infections and digestive troubles and its anti-spasmodic properties can bring welcome relief to dry, tickly coughs. And, as an ancient treatment, sandalwood oil has also long been used as an aid to meditation and is believed to boost focus and mental clarity.
To soothe, heal or revive, simply add a few drops to your bath water, then lie back and relax.
