Sandalwood Amayris Essential Oil is obtained by steam distillation from the bark and branches of the Amyris balsamifera tree. Because of its high oil content, this wood burns by itself, like a candle, and is hence called Candlewood by the local population. It is a less expensive alternative to pure sandalwood.
Usage
- This oil has been used to clean wounds, and treat influenza, diarrhoea.
- When used in a vaporiser, it helps ease anxiety and tension, insomnia, and acts as an aphrodisiac,

More Info
- The botanical origin of the tree yielding this oil was unknown until 1886 when the main differences between this plant and true sandalwood were identified by microscopic examination of the leaves.
- The Amyris balsamifera tree grows wild in Haiti. For their healing and aromatic properties, essential oils were considered more valuable than gold to ancient humans.
