Traditionally called “ili-ahi”, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood oil (Santalum paniculatum) has a deep, earthy & woody aroma, and is considered a sacred ceremonial plant used and traded by Hawaiian royalty. An essential element of ritual & meditation since Ancient times - Sandalwood relieves tension, calms anxiety & emotions, centres the heart & activates intuition. Sandalwood contains high levels of alpha santalol, a naturally occurring compound which is calming & rejuvenating. Sandalwood essential oil tightens skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while soothing skin and evening out skin tone. As an astringent, it promotes skin-cell turnover, keeping skin free from a buildup of dead skin cell, healing and deterring acne breakouts and reducing inflammation caused by breakouts. Its powerful anti-fungal and antimicrobial properties also work to clean skin, preventing harmful bacteria from entering pores. Sandalwood used in ritual is highly invocatory and useful for intention setting. Sustainably harvested and organically crafted, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood is an ecologically responsible choice, with its very similar therapeutic properties and aroma as the vulnerable (of becoming endangered) species, Santalum album, or Indian Sandalwood.
“Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds.
Heal yourself with mint, neem and eucalyptus. Sweeten with lavender, rosemary and chamomile. Hug yourself with cacao bean and a hint of cinnamon.
Put love in tea instead of sugar and drink it looking at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain. Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes from it.
Be smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead. Jump, dance, song, so that you live happier.
Heal yourself, with beautiful love and always remember… You are the medicine.”
