That is when it can be harvested and distilled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSantalum album\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAromatic Aroma:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHas a rich, balsamic, sweet aroma with delicate wood notes that add to it's reputation as a luxurious and exquisite oil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eConsistency:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e Medium \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNote:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e Base \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAroma Strength:\u003c\/h5\u003e\nMedium \u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eExtraction Method:\u003c\/h5\u003e\nSteam Distilled\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePlant Part:\u003c\/h5\u003e\nWood \u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/h5\u003e\nIndia (Mysore Region) \u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eColor:\u003c\/h5\u003e\nColorless to pale yellow\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHistory:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe documented use of Sandalwood goes back 4000 years to India, Egypt, Greece and Rome. Many temples and structures were built from Sandalwood and the Egyptians used it in embalming. This practice has steadily decreased to the point where Sandalwood East Indian is now only being used for the distillation of oil. The largest reason for this is the over-harvesting of the tree coupled with the 30 year period required for the regeneration. As with all of our oils, we acquire our oils ethically from the Mysore Region. In this case it is through State sponsored auctions in India.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCautions:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNon-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing oil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCommon Uses:\u003c\/h5\u003e\nSandalwood East Indian is used by aromatherapists to combat bronchitis, chapped and dry skin, depression, laryngitis, leucorrhea, oily skin, scars, sensitive skin, stress, and stretch marks.
