Sandalwood frees the Qi and relieves stagnation in the chest and
abdomen. It eases pain, deepens the breath and calms the spirit.

To release the chest and ease diaphragmatic, epigastric, and abdominal constriction and pain, blend Tan Xiang with the following essential oils as a 4-6% dilution in black cumin seed oil:

• Qing Pi (Green Tangerine Peel) or Zhi Ke (Citrus aurantium);

• Hou Po (Magnolia Bark)

• Mu Xiang (Saussurea) or Xiang Fu (Cyperus)

**Compare our two Sandalwood - Tan Xiang essential oils. Although their medicinal properties are similar, these two Sandalwood oils differ in aroma. Santalum album presents with a warmer, deeper or full-bodied aroma that can add a more grounding feeling, while the aroma of Santalum lanceolatum is more bright and spicy, effortlessly relieving physical and emotional constraint.
