Sandalwood roots come from the sandalwood tree (*Santalum album*), known for its fragrant wood and essential oils. The roots, like the wood, contain a high concentration of aromatic oils, making them highly prized for their calming, soothing scent. Sandalwood roots are often used in the production of essential oils, incense, perfumes, and traditional medicines. These oils are known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and relaxation-promoting properties, commonly used in aromatherapy to relieve stress and anxiety. In traditional practices, sandalwood roots have been used for centuries in rituals and spiritual ceremonies due to their grounding fragrance. Sandalwood is also valued for skincare, as its oil is believed to have moisturizing and healing properties. Sustainable harvesting is important to protect these valuable trees.
