Sandalwood (Santalum
album)
Like Frankincense, has a high sesquiterpene count which allows it to
cross the blood/brain barrier. It was discovered at the University of
Vienna, Austria, to increase oxygen around the pineal and pituitary
glands, which improves attitude, alleviates depression and improves
body balance and harmony. It can be stimulating as well as grounding as
it is said to vibrate between the 7th and 1st chakras; recommended for
meditation: used by some Yoga disciplines. Sandalwood is beneficial in
having the ability to go into the DNA of the cell and unlock emotional
trauma. Sandalwood can help one accept others with an open heart while
diminishing one’s own egocentricity.
