3.Where Sandalwood is grown, What its botanical name?

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.
