Sandalwood Essential OIl & Endocrine Health

Sandalwood essential oil is often used during prayer and meditation as it helps to ‘quiet the mind’ and allow us to feel connected to our bodies. These types of activities are very powerful in supporting the endocrine system because they encourage our body to de-stress and lower anxiety. In return, this can help to bring hormones back into balance.

 Sandalwood is also known to be supportive of the pituitary gland – the “master gland” of the endocrine system, which helps to conduct and oversee the functioning of the hormones in this system.
 
Sandalwood also helps to balance testosterone levels in both men AND women. Yes, us ladies need testosterone too – just not in the same amounts as our male counterparts. While females require lesser amounts, but it is vital for fertility, sex drive and optimizing our menstrual cycle.
 
Try adding a drop to your diffuser as you get ready for the day, or wind down at night, mix it in your favourite lotion or place a drop on your deodorant stick right before you apply it.
