Rabindranath Tagore was a celebrated Bengali poet, sage, and mystic. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 for his breathtaking verses on life in a Bengali village. He was also a profound student of Ayurvedic medicine -- the ancient holistic art that Indians have been practicing instead of Western medicine for thousands of years.
At Visva Bharati, his academy in west Bengal, he not only taught poetry, music, and philosophy -- but offered courses in the use of essential oils to release the spirit and bring relief to many commonplace illnesses. One of his favorite ingredients was Indian sandalwood oil. Tagore called this essential oil “heartbalm.”
In his voluminous writings he once penned: “The oil from the sandalwood tree has been known for centuries as an elevator of noble emotions and the basis for a mature health that is proof against many of the diseases that stem from the filth and stench that surround us, especially in the great cities of the world, where plagues begin before spreading to the countryside. Sandalwood should be burned to purify the air; the oil should be rubbed on the skin for protection against the elements and skin lesions; and it can be imbibed, suitably diluted, for digestive health and to clear the head of all untoward thoughts.”
Tagore claimed that his best poetry and prose only came after he had rubbed Indian sandalwood oil on the soles of his feet, the palms of his hands, and the crown of his head.
Today we know that Indian sandalwood oil is effective against many skin problems and is an effective mood enhancer when used in aromatherapy. If you are engaged in profound spiritual and/or intellectual thought, this essential oil will give you additional inspiration.
