doTERRA Hawaii Sandalwood
Warm & Woody
Hawaiian sandalwood
Botanical name: Santalum Panicaulatum
Country of origin: Hawaii, USA
Application: internal, external, aromatic
The impressively high levels of over 87% alpha-santalol and (trans-) beta-santalol, compared to Santalum album and Santalum spicatum, exceed the current ISO standard for santalol content – even after days, the wonderfully warm and harmonious fragrance has not yet faded.
Furthermore, Hawaiian Sandalwood is the only USDA-certified organic sandalwood essential oil that meets the international ISO standard (ECOCERT).
Long celebrated for its rich aroma and cultural significance, 'Iliahi thrives in the volcanic soils of Hawai'i. However, the 'Iliahi trade holds a complex and sensitive place in history. In the early 19th century, high demand in international markets led to economic activity, but also to exploitation, as Kānaka Maoli (native Hawaiians) were forced to harvest under harsh conditions. Overharvesting and land mismanagement led to a deterioration of the ecosystem. Today, dōTERRA honors this history through its commitment to the care, protection, and long-term survival of 'Iliahi.
Our 'Iliahi comes from the west coast of Hawai'i, specifically from the Kealakekua Mountain Reserve (KMR). Cattle ranching and logging over the past 150 years have hampered forest regeneration. Today, approximately 9,000 acres of the entire KMR area are protected to safeguard it from further overharvesting. A forest management plan has been approved and is being overseen by the State of Hawai'i. We estimate that KMR will be the largest reforestation project in all of Hawai'i, with the team planting a variety of native species, including 'Iliahi, Naio, and Koa. To date, over 600,000 native trees have been planted in KMR.

The synergy between essential oils and energy work
Essential oils are known not only for their pleasant fragrances but also for their ability to work on a subtle level . They possess a high energetic frequency that can influence the body's energy system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and harmonize the vibrations, which is crucial in many energy-based practices.
When working with energy centers , such as the chakras, essential oils act as amplifiers by stimulating specific vibrations and supporting the flow of energy. They can help open energy pathways and balance vibrations at a higher level, promoting deeper harmony between body and mind.
The use of essential oils in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising energy levels and strengthening the connection to the higher self . The vibrations of essential oils support the natural flow of energy and help achieve a deeper spiritual opening. Through their specific influence on the energetic body, they promote the release of negative or stagnant energies that could block the natural flow.
Essential oils also help promote mental clarity and stabilize emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They facilitate the achievement of focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the subtle energy levels of the body.
How do you use essential oils in energy work?
To use essential oils in energy work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation , where you add a few drops of the oil to a diffuser or simply breathe in directly from the bottle. This helps to align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balancing.
You can also use essential oils topically by diluting them with a carrier oil and applying them to specific areas of the body, such as the wrists, neck, chest, or along the energy centers (chakras), to enhance their energetic effect. This is particularly helpful during chakra work or Reiki sessions, as it supports the flow of energy by harmonizing the oil's vibrations with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen your energy work. And don't forget: your intention plays a vital role in your energy work with essential oils.
