Sandalwood Oil Benefits

Are you looking for an increase in a sense of calmness and greater mental clarity in your day to day life? Many of us are stressed out and overwhelmed with so many daily demands that having just a moment of peace and harmony would really help improve our lives. Sandalwood oil can help you achieve more clarity and calmness due to its extensive therapeutic benefits. This special oil doesn’t just have an amazing scent, sandalwood can also have an effect on overall well-being and mental health, along with many other surprising healing properties.

 Sandalwood Oil Benefits

1. Mental clarity

One of the primary sandalwood benefits is that it promotes mental clarity when used as a fragrance. Try inhaling some sandalwood oil next time you have a big deadline that requires mental focus, but you still want to remain calm during the process.

 2. Relaxing and calming

Not only is sandalwood beneficial for mental clarity, it also helps to create a feeling of relaxation and peace. 

3. Memory booster

Since one of sandalwood’s benefits is clarity, it also can work as a memory booster. It is difficult to remember important things when we are overwhelmed and stressed out, therefore using sandalwood oil to promote mental clarity can help improve memory. 

4. Natural aphrodisiac

Sandalwood is also an aphrodisiac that can help increase libido, especially for men and provide energy. Sandalwood is great when added to a massage oil or topical lotion.

5. Astringent

Sandalwood is a mild astringent, meaning it can induce minor contractions in our soft tissues, such as gums and skin. Many aftershaves and facial toners use sandalwood as one of their primary ingredients to help soothe, tighten, and cleanse the skin. 

6. Anti-inflammatory

Sandalwood is also an anti-inflammatory agent that may provide relief from mild inflammation such as insect bites, contact irritations, or other skin conditions. 

7. Anti-aging

Sandalwood is high in antioxidants that can help reduce damage caused by free radicals, which promote aging. Try adding 5 drops of sandalwood oil to an unscented lotion and applying it directly to the face for anti-aging benefits. 

8. Anti-spasmotic

 Due to the relaxing sandalwood benefits, it can act against spasms of nerves, muscles, and blood vessels. Try infusing in an oil lamp. 

9. For hair & body

Sandalwood is frequently used as a skin care product and is especially useful when mixed with a base oil to treat dry skin. Get creative by mixing sandalwood with other essential oils to create your own blend. For example, mix 4-5 drops of sandalwood with rose and vanilla oil and adding it to an unscented lotion for a romantic, fragrant, woodsy blend. Or you can try making your own homemade men’s cologne by mixing sandalwood with various other essential oils to create an earthy, manly scent. You can also use sandalwood as a base for your own homemade hair conditioner. Sandalwood is a great addition to conditioner to help prevent dandruff.
