Sandalwood
(santalum album)
Sandalwood is a very expensive essential oil and has a beautiful
rich, heavy, sensual aroma. It balances the mind and spirit, aids
in meditation, calms the nervous system, and works as an aphrodisiac,
especially for men. It has an astringent effect on oily skin and
helps soothe irritated skin.
Sandalwood refers
to the Kingdom of Love. It smells warm, sweet-woody, exotic and
balsamic and has many balancing qualities: It is sensuously inspiring,
harmonizing, warming, and very regenerating in the case of depression
and cramps. Indulge in Sandalwood and use it in the diffuser,
in gentle facial and body oils, for massage oils or a relaxing
bath. Often used for nervousness, eczema, urinary infections,
infections, tension and stress |

New:
• Sandalwood
The small 20 to 30 feet high trees are felled or dug up by roots;
the branches are worthless, so are cut off. It is usual to leave
the trunk on the ground for several months for the white ants
to eat away the sap wood, which is also of no value; it is then
trimmed and sawn into billets 2 to 2 1/2 feet long and taken to
mills in the forests, where it is again trimmed and sorted into
grades. It is heavy, hard, but splits easily; colour light yellow,
transverse sections yellow to light reddish brown, with alternating
light and dark concentric zones nearly equal in diameter, numerous
pores, and traversed by many very narrow medullary rays. Odour
characteristic, aromatic, persistent; taste peculiar, strongly
aromatic. Indian Sandalwood is a Government monopoly. |
