All of us are familiar with the therapeutic effects of sandalwood. It has been known for its cleansing properties and the soothing as well as rejuvenating impact. Similarly, pure sandalwood oil or chandan tel in Hindi is an aromatic medicinal potion. The sandalwood oil benefits augment when you blend it with other essential oils and use for your mind and body.

Pure Sandalwood Oil Benefits

1. Sandalwood Oil Benefits Skin Health.

Sandalwood has been long known for its healing properties, the same is with the oil. It has anti-aging properties and also keeps your skin clean, oil-free and tight. It prevents infections or irritations and promotes a healthy glow. Regular sandalwood oil uses can clear the signs of acne, psoriasis, eczema, and warts. So, mix 3-5 drops of sandalwood, vanilla and rose oil in an unscented cream and have your personalized blend for amazing skin.

2. It Calms Your Mind & Provides Clarity.

Having relaxing properties, pure sandalwood oil benefits your mind to promote clarity. This is one reason it’s so popular amongst people who meditate or perform rituals. Sandalwood oil uses are common for aromatherapy too. It relieves the signs of depression, anxiety, inattentiveness, mood swings, and stress.

3. The Oil Is An Expectorant.

Sandalwood oil benefits by opening up your lungs and the air passages to effectively treat ailments. Merely inhaling the oil from a handkerchief or using it in a diffuser helps get rid of common cold, stubborn cough, sore throats, sneezing, and viral infections.
