Sandalwood Chips Red

Botanical Name: Pterocarpus santalinus
Red sandalwood is a tree. The wood at the center of the trunk (heartwood) is used as medicine.
Red sandalwood is used for treating digestive tract problems, fluid retention, and coughs; and for “blood purification.”
In manufacturing, red sandalwood is used as a flavoring in alcoholic beverages.
Don’t confuse red sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus) with white sandalwood (Santalum album).
Red sandalwood might increase the loss of body water through the urine (diuretic effect). It might also have drying effects that may help reduce diarrhea and break up mucus to make it easier to cough up.
