Description Sandalwood Amayris Essential Oil comes from the bark and branches of the Amyris balsamifera tree through steam distillation. Thanks to its naturally high oil content, this wood can burn like a candle, which is why locals call it Candlewood. It provides a warm, woody fragrance and serves as a cost-effective alternative to pure sandalwood. Benefits of Sandalwood Amayris Essential Oil Traditionally, this oil has been used to cleanse wounds and support general well-being. When diffused, it eases anxiety, tension, and restlessness, while also promoting restful sleep. In addition, its balancing aroma makes it popular for meditation practices. Because of its relaxing nature, it is also valued as a muscle relaxant and emollient. How to Use Diffusion: Add a few drops to an essential oil diffuser or oil burner to create a calming atmosphere. Topical Application: Dilute with a carrier oil before applying to the skin. Inhalation: Inhale the aroma directly from the bottle or by placing a few drops on a tissue. Bath: Add several drops to bathwater for a soothing soak. Aromatherapy Jewellery: Apply to diffuser jewellery to carry its relaxing scent with you. More Info The botanical origin of this tree was only identified in 1886, when scientists distinguished it from true sandalwood through microscopic leaf examination. The Amyris balsamifera tree grows wild in Haiti, and historically, essential oils like this one were once considered more valuable than gold for their healing and aromatic qualities.
