For centuries, the dry, woody aroma of the sandalwood tree made the plant useful for religious rituals, meditation, and even for ancient Egyptian embalming purposes. Today, essential oil taken from the sandalwood tree is particularly useful for enhancing mood, promoting smooth skin when used topically, and providing grounding and uplifting feelings during meditation when used aromatically. The rich, sweet aroma and versatility of Sandalwood oil makes it a unique oil, useful in everyday life.
Benefits
Lowers Stress and Improves Sleep
Sedentary lifestyle and stress can affect sleep quality. Some research indicates that sandalwood is effective for easing anxiety and stress. It can have sedative effects, reduce wakefulness, and boost non-REM sleep time, which is great for conditions like insomnia and sleep apnea.
Treats Acne and Pimples
With its anti-inflammatory and skin-clearing properties, sandalwood essential oil can help clear acne and pimples and soothe skin. Regular use of this oil can even help prevent further acne breakouts.
Removes Dark Spots and Scars
Acne and pimples generally leave unpleasant dark spots, scars, and blemishes. Sandalwood oil soothes the skin and reduces scars and marks much faster than other products.
Fights Ageing Signs
Rich in antioxidants and toning properties, sandalwood essential oil fights wrinkles, dark circles, and fine lines. It reduces the damage caused by environmental stress and free radicals, thus curbing signs of ageing. Apart from this, it can also prevent oxidative stress and repair damaged skin tissues.
