Red Sandalwood Powder (50g)

Product Information

The size and age of trees affects the heartwood content and wood density of P. santalinus (Suresh et al. 2017). Woody anatomy such as grain waviness can be used to delimit and identify P. santalinus (Rawat and Uniyal 1996; Gasson and MacLachlan 2010). The Botanical Survey of India ( 2012) used various anatomical methods such as maceration, scanning electron microscopy, exo- and endomorphic features, and fluorescence analysis to correctly identify P. santalinus wood samples.

Commonly known as Red Sanders in English, this tree belongs to the family Fabaceae found only in dry deciduous forests of the Deccan Plateau, mostly in the Eastern Ghats of Karnataka, Seshachalam hills of Andhra Pradesh, and in the northern part of Tamil Nadu. Red Sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) is often confused with white sandalwood (Santalum album). While both contain immensely popular and rugged woods, they have stark differences when it comes to their therapeutic benefits and general usage. Rawlinson, Hugh George (2001). Intercourse Between India and the Western World: From the Earliest Times of the Fall of Rome. Asian Educational Services. ISBN 81-206-1549-2. The extract from Red Sandalwood promotes healthy nerve function by supporting healthy blood and circulatory system. It has been actively used as masks and scrubs for deep cleansing purposes and rejuvenating the skin.There is a problem with the adulteration and falsification of plant material in the P. santalinus market. The heartwood of Adenanthera pavonina Willd. ( Mimosaceae), known as ‘Ranjana’ and ‘Raktakambal’ in West Bengal and ‘Bari Gumchi’ in the northern parts of India, is often sold as a fake substitute for P. santalinus, while artificially colored wood shavings and the sawdust of some other trees are also sold on the market as cheap substitutes (Botanical Survey of India 2012). In China, the manufacture of furniture utilizes Dalbergia louvelii R. Vig. (violet rosewood) as a substitute for P. santalinus since both plants have a very similar appearance and anatomical characteristics, and cheaper D. louvelii is often illegally used to impersonate the valuable P. santalinus (Zhang et al. 2014). Zhang et al. ( 2014) used conventional infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), second derivative infrared (SD-IR) spectroscopy and two-dimensional correlation infrared (2DCOS-IR) spectroscopy to differentiate furniture made of P. santalinus wood from furniture made from D. louvelii. They observed that P. santalinus wood had a higher holocellulose content than D. louvelii wood while D. louvelii had more NaOH- and benzyl-alcohol-based extracts than P. santalinus. Pterocarpus santalinus is used in traditional herbal medicine as an antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, anthelmintic, tonic, hemorrhage, dysentery, aphrodisiac, anti-hyperglycaemic and diaphoretic.
