Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

White Sandalwood (Santalum album) has been used in traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayurveda, for a variety of purposes, including to support the health of the mucus membranes. In Ayurvedic practice, sandalwood is considered cooling and soothing, and is sometimes used in preparations aimed at alleviating inflammatory conditions of the respiratory and genitourinary tracts, which involve mucus membrane tissues. Topically, sandalwood pastes or oils may be applied for their purported anti-inflammatory and demulcent (soothing to mucous membranes) properties. There is, however, little to no direct clinical evidence from modern scientific studies to support these specific uses for mucus membrane health. Most of the available information is derived from historical texts and traditional uses rather than rigorous pharmacological or clinical research. Some laboratory studies suggest that sandalwood oil has mild anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, but these findings have not been directly linked to demonstrated benefits for mucus membranes in the human body. Therefore, the use of White Sandalwood for supporting the mucus membranes is primarily justified by tradition rather than scientific validation.
