Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A range of aromatic woods derived from trees in the Santalum genus is collectively known as sandalwood. Sandalwood oil is extracted from the fragrant heartwood of these trees. Santalum album, more often known as Indian sandalwood, is the most famous species. The unique aroma and many practical applications of sandalwood have made it a highly prized commodity for generations. Plants that produce sandalwood typically have the following traits: - The heartwood of sandalwood trees has a distinct and delightful aroma because it is abundant in essential oils, especially α-santalol and β-santalol. - Sandalwood oil is steam distilled from sandalwood heartwood, which is a process of great commercial importance. Many traditional medicines, cosmetics, and perfumes contain this oil. - Sandalwood is highly revered in many faiths and cultures for its spiritual and cultural benefits. As part of some religious rites, it is common practice to apply sandalwood paste to the forehead. - Development of Heartwood: Sandalwood trees are known for their sluggish growth rate, which can extend over decades. One reason the wood is so expensive is because it grows so slowly. - Sandy soils are ideal for sandalwood trees, which are endemic to tropical areas. Some of the Pacific islands, as well as countries in Australia, Indonesia, and India, are home to these creatures. - Some species of sandalwood are in danger of extinction because of the excessive demand for them and the subsequent overharvesting. Because of this, people are trying to get the word out about sustainable farming and harvesting. - Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) isn't the only species of sandalwood; there are others, such as Santalum spicatum in Australia and Santalum ellipticum in Hawaii, and they all have different characteristics. Ayurvedic practitioners have long relied on sandalwood for its sedative and anti-inflammatory qualities, among other possible medicinal uses. Still, initiatives to control and encourage ethical sandalwood cultivation have arisen in response to sustainability concerns and problems associated with illicit logging.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Santalum album L. (East Indian Sandalwood) is a medium sized semi-parasitic tree which can reach to a height of 33 to 66 feet in height. It is called as a miracle tree because of its immense uses in trade and traditional form of medicine in South East Asia. As it is semi parasitic in nature it prefers to “extract” nutrients from the roots of nearby plants by using haustoria. Essential oils of sandalwood have antispasmodic (relieve spasm of muscles), antibacterial (kill bacteria) and antiviral (kill viruses) properties. Sandalwood is used in treatment of inflammation, skin disorders, rashes, cough, fever, flu, hypertension and restlessness. Essential oils are used to improve functioning of liver, heart and stomach and to strengthen the gums of teeth and muscles. The fragrant oil from the wood is one of the choicest perfumery material in the world and is recently reported to be highly effective in treatment of breast cancer too. It is mentioned in ancient scriptures of and various ASEAN countries that every part of sandalwood is used for some or the other benefit of human beings. This book is a compilation of information published in scientific journals regarding the cultivation and utilisation of this wonder tree. The chapters in the book contain a wide array of information regarding its distribution, uses, diversity, nursery techniques, plantation technology, insects and pests in plantation, harvesting and utilisation of sandalwood. It is expected that the book shall provide a ready to refer information for people interested in Sandalwood cultivation in ASEAN countries and world over.
Book Synopsis Down, but Not Out by : Dipak Sarmah, IFS (Retd.)
Download or read book Down, but Not Out written by Dipak Sarmah, IFS (Retd.) and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-03-19 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blessed with extensive tracts of natural forest harboring the sandal tree (Santalum album L.), the Indian state of Karnataka was a leading producer of sandalwood, the most valuable product of the tropical forest. However, due to rampant smuggling during the last three-four decades, Karnataka’s sandalwood production slipped to abysmally low levels, with hardly any mature sandal tree being left in the forests. What, however, is providential about the sandal is its resilience to fight for survival in the face of hostile situations. Because of this resilience, sandal has been able not only to survive in areas where it occurred naturally but also to surface in areas where it was not known to have existed in the past. This extraordinary ability of sandal to survive, adjust and propagate against heavy odds provides a beacon of hope that it is still possible to restore the lost glory of sandal in Karnataka’s forests. The book, ‘Down, but Not Out – Sandal in Karnataka’, attempts at sharing some information about the extensive sandal-bearing forests that existed throughout the length and breadth of Karnataka and how they responded to management interventions during the past two hundred years. It also dwells upon the challenges associated with the management of sandal in the context of its rapidly dwindling population and suggests ways and means to re-establish and replenish its depleted stock, ensuring that the new crop of sandal does not face the same fate as the old crop did in the past.

Book Synopsis Naturally beautiful: Cosmetic and beauty products from forests by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Naturally beautiful: Cosmetic and beauty products from forests written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade or so the extent of natural ingredients used by the cosmetics industry has increased, but there is no comprehensive publication on beauty products based on forest products, although scattered information does exist. By bringing attention to the role of forests in supplying beauty products and the connections with livelihood security and utilization of NWFPs, awareness of the importance of forests and their connection with cosmetics will be raised. Within this context, FAO and the Non-Timber Forest Products – Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP) Asia have conducted this regional assessment of NWFPs related to the cosmetics and fragrance sector. The study compiled a set of case studies that examined specific NWFPs and the various traditional contexts in which they are collected, processed and marketed. The main objective of this volume is to present the case studies and the emerging synthesis, while encouraging cross-sectoral discussions in Asia on forests and beauty products. The study also provides recommendations on further enhancing equitable arrangements between forest communities and industry players. The initiative also organized a mini-seminar on forest product contributions to the cosmetics industry as part of the Asia-Pacific Forestry Week 2016 in Clark, Pampanga, the Philippines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandalwood (Santalum spp.) trees grow in a variety of climates around the world and are culturally and economically important to about 15 countries. Exploitation of the fragrant heartwood for carvings, oil, and incense in the past has led to the need to conserve and manage the genus. The first substantial logging of sandalwood in Hawaii in 150 years generated local controversy in 1988, uncovered misinformation and speculation about the genus, and eventually led to the symposium in 1990. Papers in this proceedings cover history, distribution, status, ecology, management, propagation, and use of sandalwood. A synthesis paper summarizes the state-of-knowledge of the symposium participants. Research is needed to fill gaps in information on various aspects of sandalwood in many of the countries where it grows.
