psychological effects of sandalwood essential oil
The euphoric, though grounding psychological effects of Sandalwood Essential Oil help facilitate a sense of well-being and stability. Not surprisingly, sandalwood oil is often used for meditation and yoga.
Torii et al. (1988) examined the psychological effects of essential oils via brain waves patterns (CNV), with results suggesting that sandalwood was sedative. Sandalwood has been shown to have a sedative effect on the motility of mice upon inhalation (Buchbauer et al., 1993).
