Sandalwood
Found in New Caledonia, Santalum album is steam distilled to produce an essential oil that’s soft, sweet, rich, and woody. This base note oil blends well with Patchouli, Rose, Rosewood, Vetiver and Ylang Ylang.
Much like Patchouli, which it blends well with, Sandalwood is a grounding essential oil that’s ideal for mediation and other spiritual practice. This sacred oil is often used for balancing the Root, Third Eye and Crown Chakras. Add to a diffuser during meditation to open the Third Eye and promote mind-body connection. Furthermore, with its ability to increase memory and focus, Sandalwood has been widely regarded as an ally in the fight against Alzheimer’s Disease.
