Sandalwood was used in the ancient world for religious ceremonies, and it is one of the key oils used in the Ayurvedic health system. Widely used in perfumes as it has the most delightful sensual and dizzy aroma.

It has many therapeutic uses; for calming and cooling the body, reducing infection or fever and alleviating inflamation. It has a sedative effect, therefore useful for burning around the home for a claming and soothing atmoshpere. Used as a massage oil, it is indicated for anxiety and mild depression.

On a more physical level, Sandalwood can be used for sore throats, laryngitis etc. Apply a few drops to a handkerchief and breath the oil in. Alternatively add a few drops to some base oil and massage into the affected area(s). Use also for cystitis - add a few drops to bathwater or massage into the lower back and abdomen area.
