Medicinal Uses of Sandalwood (Chandan)
Sandalwood is the name of a class of woods from trees in the genus Santalum.
The woods are heavy, yellow, and fine-grained, and unlike many other aromatic woods, they retain their fragrance for decades.
Sandalwood oil is extracted from the wood for use.
Both the wood and the oil produce a distinctive fragrance that has been highly valued for centuries.
Consequently, species of this slow-growing tree have suffered over-harvesting in the past century.
