Does Sandalwood essential oil make you sleepy?
While Sandalwood oil promotes a sense of tranquility and relaxation, it typically won't cause excessive drowsiness during the day. However, Sandalwood is a popular choice for people looking to support restful sleep. Using this essential oil in the evening may help promote relaxation and support a peaceful bedtime routine. -
Why is Sandalwood so special?
In the ancient Indian tradition of Ayurveda, Sandalwood is considered sacred. Sandalwood essential oil and incense are associated with worship, particularly of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, who is said to live in the Sandalwood tree. Sandalwood is also a protected species that must be sustainably harvested. At Rocky Mountain Oils, we source all our essential oils responsibly and sustainably.
