The power of Sandalwood

The warm, woodsy aroma of Sandalwood essential oil is a favorite of spas, perfumers, and yogis. Sandalwood is a holy incense in India and China and has always been popular in blended incenses burned for fragrance and in magical rites. It is always used for hoping to achieve safety, peace, health, wishes and luck.

Sandalwood for Money and Fortune

When it comes to essential oil for luck, we will think of big trees with deep roots, and a thick base of aroma – Sandalwood has at least 4,000 years of history in the East and is the best representative of the ancient East. It has always been the most noble and most commonly used cultivar in Hinduism, Buddhism and Japanese Shinto. The wooden texture is meticulous, not only mellow, quiet, but also incense. And it is also suitable for carving. Since ancient times, Sandalwood has often been used in Hinduism and Buddhist in India, its mysterious and rich aroma is full of fascinating exoticism.

This oriental mystery wood is mainly produced in East India and is referred as the National Treasure of India. In the past, sandalwood was wild. In its first twenty years of life, it is parasitic and depends on the host. After the host is exhausted, it will grow on its own. Indians believe that termites never attack sandalwood, so they think sandalwood is a symbol of unique vitality.

India’s oldest and most expensive blend oils are based on sandalwood, and are mixed with expensive flowers and leaves. The ancient Indians believe that the flower is full of delicate flower souls. They need masculine energy from sandalwood. This way, the flower souls are stable and thus make the aroma lasts longer. In addition to being a sacred spice, Sandalwood oil can enhance spirituality and lead people into a transcendent spiritual world. Moreover, sandalwood also has an aphrodisiac effect, it can seduce lust, and allow people indulge in the joy of the senses.

However, because sandalwood itself is not easy to breed, it has become a rare national treasure in the East India region for many years. The smell of sandalwood oil in recent years has a green taste of wood. Unlike the Sandalwood with synthetic chemicals you smell in temples, real sandalwood will not make people dizzy.

In Western aromatherapy, sandalwood has always been the elixir of love. A man wears sandalwood can provide a feeling of charming, reliable and high class. It makes it easier for men to gain trust in their careers and love. Sandalwood makes a woman to be restrained, exude warmth, and be intellectual and feminine. Sandalwood is also good for anti-anxiety, anti-depression, soothing inner frustration, nausea, premenstrual syndrome, tension, and help cell regeneration.
