Description
Australian Sandalwood has very similar applications to Indian Sandalwood, although its aroma is somewhat different, and it has stronger antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. Sandalwood is considered one of the most precious and sacred oils and has been used since ancient times in religious ceremonies as well as for cosmetic and perfume purposes. Its cooling, balancing and restorative effects bring harmony to both the body and mind.
