Amyris Essential Oil is also known as "West Indian Sandalwood," as the oil possesses a sweet-woody, balsamic aroma with good fixative value, and is often used as a less expensive substitute for true Sandalwood. Amyris Essential Oil is relaxing and calming to the mind and body, and is used to alleviate stress and anxiety.
Also, Amyris is commonly used to uplift the mood and has a slight aphrodisiac effect. The oil is most commonly used in aromatherapy for its relaxing and sedative properties, as it may be helpful with restlessness and muscle aches and spasms.
Amyris Essential Oil possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties. As a result, the oil is commonly used to slow the aging process and regenerate the skin, making it an ideal oil to add to facial blends.
Spiritually, Amyris Essential Oil anchors one's energy in a state of receptivity and openness, while aligning one with the feminine energy of the moon. This balance and upliftment allows for heightened intuition, creativity, and imagination. It is thought that Indian Sandalwood was most likely the type of sandalwood that is frequently mentioned in the Bible, called by the name "aloes", though there is some debate as to weather the "aloes" is actually Agarwood.
