Ancient Wisdom Sandalwood Amyris Essential Oil - 10ml Bottle

Amyris essential oil is also called West Indian Sandalwood oil because its odour is reminiscent of Sandalwood. Please note, however, that this is not the traditional Sandalwood essential oil. It is obtained by steam distillation from the bark and branches of the Amyris Balsamifera tree. Because of its high oil content, this wood burns by itself, like a candle, and is hence called candlewood by the local population. It is a less expensive alternative to pure sandalwood.

It is antiseptic, balsamic, and a sedative.

As Amyris Sandalwood doesn't have the same healing properties as true Sandalwood, this oil is best used as a calming, relaxing fragrance in baths, diffusers and oil burners or in perfumes and cosmetics.
