One of the oldest and most common aromatherapy and
medication tools is sandalwood incense. It
has been used for at least 4000 years.
It is one of the most preferred incense for meditation because of its
calming effect.
Sandalwood comes from the sandal tree that almost grows
exclusively in the forest of Karnataka, a state in Southwest India. It is also found in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and
Andhra Pradesh. The tree is grown until
it reaches its full maturity after 60 to 80 years. The tree is then uprooted during the rainy
season when the roots are rich in precious essential oil.
Loose powder and incense sticks are the two primary forms of
sandalwood incense. Sandalwood is ground
into a powder which can later be burned as incense over hot charcoal or any
other source of heat. The powder can
also be mixed with water that can be turned into a thick paste and then rolled
into a stick. These sticks can later be
burned so that the sandalwood aroma can be released.
