These oils are all names under the umbrella of Sandalwood, a rich and sweet aroma that reminds  you of your granddad smoking a pipe and settled in for a long winters evening. It has been known to be used as an aphrodisiac and as pleasant tool to aid meditation.

Both the Indian and Sri Lankan oils have specific differences although both are effective to use as a tonic to build up the immune system in the physical body and also balance the skin whether it is dry or oily.  They are especially good if you are a man and suffer with tender skin from shaving. It can be useful in relaxation, lifts depression and is well known as a balancing oil.

Sandalwood, if being used as part of a collection of Home Remedies , will surprise the person using it for the first time as the liquid is thick and can take time to come out of the bottle.  Unless you are very patient it may be useful to use a pipette. If stored correctly it will improve with age but if you have a favourite oil then stock up as it is becoming scarce, and the prices are soaring due to the aromatherapy oil becoming so popular.

Most popular sandalwood essential oils are from India and Sri Lanka although there are also Australian Aromatherapy Oils on the market but these may not have as strong an aroma (Santal Spicatum).

There are new sandalwood essential oils coming in from different countries that will enhance the scents once they have aged.  Sandalwood is known to be one of the Herbal Remedies that blends with almost every thing, including Atlas, Cedar wood , Enrol, vanilla and many more.
