Uses of Sandalwood Oil

At present, sandalwood oil is widely utilized for its calming and relaxing effects.It is in demand asincense and is recommended in Swahra yoga for "the union of the senses" and in Tantric yoga for awakening sexual energy. It can be used for depression, daily stress, and states of anxiety,

fear, or chronic illness.

This essential oil is wellregarded in skincare, as it tones and relieves itching, inflammation, and dehydrated skin. Rashes, scar tissue, eczema,

psoriasis, acne, and dandruff are just some of theissues it can assist with.

The Living Earth Beauty blog states that apart from topical application, you can also steam inhale sandalwood oil fill a large bowl with

steaming water, cover your face and head with a towel, and breathe. This can be a good remedy for respiratory concerns and skin conditions

that emerge on the face. You can also drycondition with the oil, adding a few drops to your dry hair after a shower or during the day to

restore moisture.

Remember, though, that I do not recommend using sandalwood essential oil raw on your skin.
Mix it with some type of carrier oil, such as jojoba.
