In Chinese Medicine: Sandalwood is a versatile sweet-woody oil that strengthens weakness in both the Lower and Upper Jiao. A principal oil for Yin deficiency in the Kidney and Lung, it promotes stability in the Lower Jiao, and because it also tonifies Heart Qi and Blood it carries a marked affinity for the Heart.
Chinese Medicine functions adapted from Peter Holmes, L.Ac., M.H., Channeling Fragrance. The full profile — treatment patterns, acupoint combinations and synergist oils — is in the book.

I had finished a bottle of sandalwood oil I'd had for many years and discovered how difficult it was to get a quality replacement. This oil is perfect-not too strong, but pure, smells just like the mysore sandalwood I had for years.
Truly authentic and pure, while other less expensive "pure" sandalwood essential oils actually turn out to be perfumy blends, ugly.
I’ve been on the hunt for real sandalwood: sweet and woody, not powdery like an old grandma’s closet. This is absolutely the authentic, delicious scent. Pricey, but worth it.
