Origin of sandalwood oil
Sandalwood is an evergreen, parasitic tree that burrows its rootsinto other trees. It can grow up to 9 meters (30 feet) high and hasa brown-gray trunk, many smooth slender branches, leathery leavesand small pink-purple flowers.
It can take thirty to sixty years for a tree to reach fullmaturity, when it is cut and distilled and the yellowish wood issold in thin scrapings. It is agreed that the best sandalwood oilis from Mysore in India.
The documented use of the wood goes back 4000 years and caravanscarrying this wood from India to Egypt, Greece and Rome were afamiliar sight. Many temples were built from the wood and theEgyptians used the oil in embalming.
Sandalwood is much in demand as incense and has a calming effectduring meditation. Swahra yoga recommends it for the union of thesenses and Tantric yoga for the awakening of sexual energy.
once Sandalwood was used for making furniture and caskets, but asthe tree is nearly extinct, it is only used for the distillation ofoil. Because of the threat of total extinction, this oil is nowvery well controlled in India - but has caused the price of thisvery fine oil to soar, and become one of the most expensiveessential oils on the market - and for that reason we offer thepure oil, as well as a more affordable blend which contains 25% ofthe pure oil.
