Santalum spicatum, or Australian Sandalwood, is a slow-growing tree native to Western Australia, thriving in arid and semi-arid climates. Unlike Indian Sandalwood, Australian Sandalwood is often harvested with strict environmental oversight to ensure sustainability. The chips are derived from the heartwood of the tree, releasing a rich, woody aroma when burned.
Magical Properties
Australian Sandalwood chips are revered for their grounding and purifying energies, ideal for rituals focused on protection, cleansing, and spiritual connection. Sandalwood is often burned to clear negative energy, calm the mind, and invite peace and clarity. Its warm, woody aroma is said to foster a sense of sacred space, making it perfect for meditation and inner reflection. Known to deepen spiritual practice, Sandalwood also supports intentions for healing and alignment, amplifying calm, centred energies in one’s environment.
Medicinal Properties
In traditional practices, Sandalwood is appreciated for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. The chips, when infused or used in oils, can help calm irritated skin and alleviate minor aches. Sandalwood has mild sedative qualities, which can help in reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and supporting restful sleep. Its aroma is also known to enhance mental clarity and emotional well-being, making it a valued tool for relaxation and mental focus.
