Sandalwood is a class of woods from trees in the genus Santalum. There are species native to India, Malaysia, and Australia but Indian Sandalwood is the most prized. Indigenous Shamans have used wood, leaves, and oil for thousands of years to heal the body and soul, purify spaces, clear negative energies, and prepare for meditation. In Aromatherapy, Sandalwood has many benefits. Its distinctive sweet, soft, and creamy scent induces relaxation and calmness. It promotes positive thinking, clarity, and aids concentration.

Place incense away from flammable materials. Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
