Cendana (Santalum album L.)

The main components of sandalwood oil are santalols, particularly α-santalol and β-santalol, which are responsible for its distinctive aroma. In addition, the leaves, roots, and stems of sandalwood contain flavonoids, phenolic compounds, terpenoids, tannins, and saponins, which provide various bioactive benefits.

Sandalwood has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the body, whether through topical application or inhalation, thereby alleviating mild pain and skin irritations such as eczema and psoriasis. In addition, sandalwood is antimicrobial and antiseptic, effective against pathogenic bacteria and fungi, while also helping prevent infections and supporting the wound-healing process.
