Sandalwood Sandalwood is also referred to as Santalum album, it is an essential oil with important health benefits used in aromatherapy. It has been said to play roles in the release of depression, cough, laryngitis, greasy skin, cracked skin, dehydrated skin, acne, and so many others. The following are its health benefits; Anticancer effects In a study that evaluated the anticancer effect of santalum. The study identified its anticancer effects in chemically-induced skin carcinogenesis in CD-1 and SENCAR mice, ultraviolet-B-induced skin carcinogenesis in SKH-1 mice and in vitro models of melanoma, non-melanoma, breast and prostate cancer. Santalum has the ability to induce cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells without any toxic effects. Central fatigue This study evaluated the therapeutic effect of sandalwood on central fatigue. Thirty-three rats were randomly and equally divided into groups; control, chronic sleep deprivation, and compound essential oil inhalation groups. After 21 days of intervention, the group that was treated with the compound essential oil behaved significantly better than the central fatigue group. Santalum can be used to alleviate central fatigue. Further studies are required for use in humans for insomnia. Dermatology use In a study that investigates the potential of santalum as a new active ingredient in dermatology. Sandalwood album oil demonstrated biological activity as an anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-proliferative agent. Also, it has shown promise in clinical trials for the treatment of acne, psoriasis, eczema, common warts, and molluscum contagiosum. Self-perceived effect A study included eight female participants who used the essential oil of Santalum album, East Indian Sandalwood, as a perfume daily for a week. Their self-perceived effects were analyzed for common experiences, using the grounded theory method. It was found that sandalwood possessed a self-perceived effect, which varied with the initial psychological state Physiological effects The physiological effects of Santalum on 32 humans exposed to experimental stress were carried out in a study. During the study, several saliva samples were collected, blood pressure was regularly measured and parameters of the autonomic nervous system (heart rate, skin conductance response) were continuously monitored. The study demonstrated that the essential oils of Santalum can be used to alleviate the physiological reactions to psychological stress and facilitate recovery after exposition to stress Antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effects In a study that investigated the antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effect of long-term Santalum album in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The rats were treated with Santalum album twice daily for 60 days and lipid profile and glycated hemoglobin were estimated. Santalum album has a potential antihyperlipidemic activity that can help in overcoming insulin resistance. References Janelle Sheen, John Stevens, (2001). Self-perceived effects of Sandalwood.
