Sandalwood African

What is Sandalwood African?

African Sandalwood essential oil, also known as Osyris lanceolata, is derived from a plant native to East Africa. It has a warm, woody, and earthy aroma similar to Indian sandalwood but with unique undertones. African Sandalwood is often used in aromatherapy for its grounding and calming effects, making it popular in meditation and relaxation practices.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Some individuals may experience intolerance to African Sandalwood due to its rich, resinous compounds, which can cause skin sensitivity or respiratory discomfort. People sensitive to deep, woody aromas may find its scent overpowering, potentially leading to headaches or nausea.

What can I do about it?

To manage intolerance to African Sandalwood, use it in well-ventilated spaces or blend it with lighter oils like lavender or citrus to balance its aroma. For skin application, dilute it with a carrier oil to minimize potential irritation. Reducing the concentration and frequency of use can help you enjoy its benefits without discomfort.
