The healing power of sandalwood
-
Sandalwood comes from a tree from Indonesia, namely Timor and Sumba. Sumba was also called the sandalwood island for that reason. The Dutch had laid out plantations with sandalwood, but the Indoans have proved unable to maintain them. Sandalwood now comes from India instead of the Indian archipelago. Today also trees of the same genus are used from which the same essential oil can be obtained as trees from Hawaii and Australia. The native sandalwood of Indonesia also grows originally in Ceylon and on the coast of Coromandel, the west coast of India.

Thai research from 2004 shows that the substances of sandalwood are absorbed through the skin and provide a soothing effect for the body March for an activating effect for action. Alfasantalol is the substance that caused the most physical changes. This can be taken into account when using sandalwood oil for skin cancer.

Sandalwood oil has always been used traditionally against skin diseases, but that it also works against the worst form of skin disease, namely skin cancer, the researchers did not yet know.
Sandalwood as a mosquito repellent
-
Australian study from 2006 investigated sandalwood burning as a mosquito repellent. Their research showed that there is more than 73% less chance that a mosquito will bite if sandalwood is burned. The same researchers then noted that DEET products are 100% effective. DEET products only work for a period of three hours. This means that during sleep you can still be bitten by a mosquito, because the DEET has worn off, or actually has been completely absorbed by the skin and has entered the bloodstream. Korean research from 2012 tested 24 different essential oils together and concluded that sandalwood oil contains the only essential oils that actually keep mosquitoes at bay. The Koran scientists report that four different santanol oils are effective as mosquito repellants, namely: alphasantalol, betasantalol, betasinensal and epibetasantalol.
