Those growing red sandalwood report that it grows fast when young, shooting up to 15 feet (5 m.) in three years before slowing down. Its leaves each have three leaflets, while the flowers grow on short stems.

Sandalwood oil contains antioxidants that help maintain the buoyancy and structure of the skin cells. It also reduces dryness and replenishes the moisture in skin, increasing elasticity.Its key active ingredient is alpha-santalol, and it’s been used for a number of ailments,” says Monisha Bhanote, MD. She notes that sandalwood oil may inhibit bacteria and yeast.

Stain Technol 56(2):83–85 The colour and fragrance of P. santalinus heartwood are derived from santalins while the pleasent aroma is caused by the presence of terpenoids (Kumar et al. 1974). A dye prepared from the heartwood of P. santalinus is used as a stain in light microscopy (Banerjee and Mukherjee 1981; Sen Gupta and Mukherjee 1981), as a coloring agent in pharmaceutical preparations, in food, leather and textile industries (Ankalaiah et al. 2017), and as a textile dye (Gulrajani et al. 2002). The medicinal properties of P. santalinus have been extensively reviewed elsewhere (Navada and Vittal 2014; Azamthulla et al. 2015) and will not be covered in this review. However, multiple uses (Table S2), ethnomedicinal uses (Table S3), and phytochemistry (Table S4) have been provided as supplementary tables to offer a more rounded appreciation of this tree in the context of this review.

For Policy Econ 26(C):43–53 Sandalwood is time-tested in Ayurveda for its pitta-reducing quality, cooling the skin in cases of tanning and sunburn and soothing the skin with its anti-inflammatory properties — especially in cases of acne, rashes, and insect bites,” says Ainsley Mayben of Kama Ayurveda. Red Sandalwood, commonly known as Raktachandan, is a tree that is native and endemic to India. The wood part present at the centre of the trunk, also known as heartwood, is used for medicinal purposes.Rawlinson, Hugh George (2001). Intercourse Between India and the Western World: From the Earliest Times of the Fall of Rome. Asian Educational Services. ISBN 81-206-1549-2. Sandalwoods are medium-sized hemiparasitic trees, and part of the same botanical family as European mistletoe. Sandalwood is indigenous to the tropical belt of the peninsular India, Malay Archipelago and northern Australia. [6] [7] The main distribution is in the drier tropical regions of India and the Indonesian islands of Timor and Sumba. [8] It spread to other regions through the incense trade route by the vast Indian and Arab mercantile networks and the Chinese maritime trade routes until the sixteenth century CE. [9] The sandalwood of peninsular India and Malay Archipelago supported most consumption in East Asia and West Asia during the time of the incense trade route [10] [11] before the commercialization of Australian sandalwood ( Santalum spicatum) in sandalwood plantations in Australia and China, although sandalwood album ( Santalum album) is still considered to have the best and original quality in terms of religion and alternative medicine. Santalum spicatum is marketed as the notable members of this group today by merchants because of its stable sources; others in the genus also have fragrant wood. These are found in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Australia, Indonesia, Hawaii, and other Pacific Islands, Kaner J, Jiufang L, Yongji X, Ioraş F (2013) A re-evaluation of woods used in Chinese historic furniture (part two).
