True Indian Sandalwood is a parasitic tree native to Southern India, particularly the state of Karnataka. The precious, fragrant essential oil is concentrated in the heartwood of the tree, and it only develops after many years of growth, making it incredibly valuable. Its use in perfumery, spiritual rituals, and medicine spans thousands of years.

White Sandalwood is one of the most sacred and precious substances in Ayurveda and Indian culture. Its divine fragrance and immense cooling properties make it the ultimate remedy for pacifying Pitta dosha. It is a superb anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, used in skincare to calm acne, soothe rashes, lighten scars, and cool sunburns. Its aroma is deeply meditative, used to calm the mind, focus concentration, and open the third eye (Ajna Chakra).
● For a Sacred & Cooling Face Mask: Mix Sandalwood powder with SUPHERB® Rose Water to form a paste. Apply to the face to cool, calm, and beautify the skin. This is the classic Ayurvedic face mask.
● For Meditation: Apply a small dab of the paste to the forehead between the eyebrows to help cool the mind and enhance focus during meditation.
● For Skin Irritations: A paste of Sandalwood can be applied to insect bites, rashes, or sunburns for instant cooling relief.
