SANDALWOOD ESSENTIAL OIL (India, Mysore)

Listing ID #2375518

Sandalwood essential oil (india, mysore) santalum album is from india and is also known as east indian sandalwood, santal, saunders and sandalwood mysore. Sandalwood is an evergreen, parasitic tree that burrows its roots into other trees. Etymologically it is derived from sanskrit "chandanam - sandanam - sandalum - sandal". This heartening oil with an elevating fragrance has been used for thousands of years for attaining enlightenment, awakening selfless love and augment spiritual bond. It also enhances memory power, clears confusion in the brain, support concentration and also aides in treating various skin conditions like acne, scars and dark circles. The documented use of the wood goes back 4000 years and caravans carrying this wood from india to egypt, greece and rome were a familiar sight. Many temples were built from the wood and the egyptians used the oil in embalming. While there are other species of sandalwood including red sandalwood, australian sandalwood (santalum spicatum) and new caledonian sandalwood (santalum austrocaledonicum), these are quite different from true santalum album and have very different properties and fragrances. Common method of extraction: steam distillation, part typically used: chipped heartwood, color: clear with a yellow tinge, consistency: medium - thick, perfumery note: base, strength of initial aroma: woody, exotic. The sandalwood oil improves with age (unlike some other essential oils which degrade with age). Sandalwood oil is rare and expensive and the price is going up rapidly as the indian government places tighter regulations on its production and export.
