In Ayurveda, Sandalwood is considered bitter, sweet, and astringent, with cooling properties. It is light and unctuous, ideal for vata anxiety and pitta inflammation. It cools pitta excess, meaning that it is useful in inflammatory conditions and other health problems associated with excess fire (fever, viral and bacterial infections).
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, sandalwood is considered a tonic for the Lung Qi and a soother for the Liver Qi. It is also used as a calming and nourishing herb for the shen (mind and spirit). Sandalwood oil is used to address ailments associated with fire such as colds, flus, urinary infections, fever and others.
