MEDICINAL IMPORTANCE OF SANDAL WOOD: Medicine for fever, infection & beauty tips.

Scientific name of sandal wood is "Santalum album". It is an endemic species and is confined only south India. even though cultivation is possible is south Asian countries quality of the plant extract is very low.
From past nearly 5000BC ancient Indian people are using this tree as a key component of religious practice. Apart from religious importance, Sandal wood have very high medicinal value. Some of them are explained here...

Sandal wood as Antipyretic agent:

Prepare the paste of sandal wood (well grown root is more efficient) by using a granite slab, the paste must be semi solid and water content must be very less. To get the paste use water; milk can also be used.
Apply that paste on the forehead to person who is suffering from fever.
Since, the sandal wood is exceptionally good at capturing the heat, the paste will become dry very soon. therefore use a wet cloth and keep it on the paste directly ( on to the forehead).

Repeat this for 3-4 times to get rid off fever.

NOTE: In case of very high fever apply the paste even on to the chest region.

Sandal wood to fight against infection:

This medicine is very much effective for throat infection to those who have tonsil problem.
Prepare the sandal wood paste as mentioned above. then add 1/6th proportion of cumin seed (jeera) to the paste and consume it WITHOUT chewing it.
It is very bitter in taste. If you can bare that then it is really good and very much effective.
If it's too difficult then add very less amount of jaggery to it.

NOTE: Take this medicine after dinner and have a nice sleep. By very next day morning one can feel the effect of medicine.

Sandal wood as a cosmetic agent:

Prepare the paste of sandal wood by using MILK. Add pale yellow cream obtained from milk so as to enhance its activity. Apply this mixture on to the face ( 2-3 coats), use fingers to apply it; don't use spoon or any other things for it. Allow it to dry. It would take nearly one hour to dry. In between it'll create itching effect, don't be scared about that. Because itching effect clearly indicated that the cosmetic applied is working properly...!!!

After one hour gently wash the face with cold water ( not ice cold water..!!!)

Do this therapy regularly and you can see the expected result.

NOTE:

This is a general therapy. both males and females can adopt this method.
Girls can use it to get rid off unwanted hair near ears, nose and even below the nose (use only sandal wood paste without with milk or cream).
