During the winter months we all may feel a change in our skin, feeling dryness and even wrinkles becoming more pronounced. Sandalwood essential oil is a very gentle essential oil and may be applied directly on the skin and may help to soften and moisturize the skin. Plus the scent is very pleasing and may also be beneficial for calming stressed nerves.

“Like valleys that stretch out, Like gardens beside the river, Like aloes planted by the Lord, Like cedars beside the water.” (Numbers 24:6)

Sandalwood is one of the more gentle essential oils of the Biblical oils. Sandalwood enhances deep sleep, may help remove negative programming from the cells. It is high in Sesquiterpenes that stimulate the pineal gland and the limbic region of the brain, the center of emotions.* The pineal gland is responsible for releasing melatonin, a powerful immune stimulant and anti-tumoral agent.

Sesquiterpenes, predominant in Vetiver, cedarwood, and sandalwood, are soothing to inflamed tissue and can also produce profound effects on emotions and hormonal balance.*

ALOES/SANDALWOOD (Santalum album) is the most valuable tree in the world. It takes 10 years for the sandalwood tree to form hardwood. Peak hardwood formation is achieved when the tree is between 40-60 years. King Tut’s tomb was filled with alabaster jars of aloewood/sandalwood oil which thieves later stole, leaving the alabaster jars behind. Sandalwood contains 90 % sesquiterpenes which deprogram misinformation and carry oxygen to the cellular level.

“And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.” (John 19:39)
