Everybody that knows anything about aromatherapy knows about sandalwood essential oil. And even folks that don’t have a clue about aromatherapy might still really enjoy the aroma of sandalwood. It’s thought it may be the number one “aromatic” plant material in the history of mankind, with a history that dates back over four thousand years. Yet while its sublime aroma may be why most people purchase the oil, its also an impressive medicine. Aromatherapy practitioners think of its skin-care properties first, but there’s a lot more to sandalwood than many folks know.
