3.Where Sandalwood is

SANDALWOOD -
Santalum album
Sandalwood, a member of the family Santalaceae, is native to
India where it is now cultivated for commercial purposes,
particularly in the southern state of Karnataka, formerly known
as Mysore. The sandalwood tree is a small evergreen, a parasite
that gets nutrients from photosynthesis but draws the water and
minerals that it requires from the roots of a host tree.
(Mistletoe belongs to the same family.)
There has been some concern over depleting resources in recent
years, but this problem is now being resolved with replanting
programmes that have been initiated by the Indian government,
which also regulates the quality of the oil that is produced.
Another variety of sandalwood, Australian sandalwood, is also
used for essential oil production but the Indian sandalwood is
considered superior and is thus the one of choice. Sandalwood
has been used for its perfume for some four thousand years in
the East. In powdered form it is burned as incense and it has
been used as a component in the embalming process. Its
ceremonial and religious uses include weddings, funerals and
festivals. It was also used therapeutically in Eastern
traditional medicine for fighting off disease.
The wood was used for building and for ornamental carvings, in
particular for temples.
4. How Sandalwood oil is obtained?
Sandalwood oil is obtained from the heartwood of the tree, which
has previously been dried and powdered, by steam distillation.
It is used as a perfume and a fragrance fixative in cosmetics,
aftershaves, colognes and perfumes. It is one of the essential
oils that appeals equally to both sexes. Sandal-wood oil is a
component of many varieties of incense. It also has value as a
flavouring in some commercially produced food and drinks.
