Description
Essences or ruh are extracted from herbs, spices, fruits, flowers, root, bark, wood and the leaves of trees. Sandalwood essence is the most exquisite wood and has been used to carve deities. It is widely used in ayurvedic cooking. Sandalwood paste can be made by rubbing a sandal piece on a flat stone. This essence works for all the three doshas. This essence is good for vata and kapha types and for occasional use by pitta. In Ayurvedic medicine, sandalwood oil/essence is believed to be beneficial in treating both physical and mental disorders, including anxiety, bronchitis, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, gallbladder problems, high blood pressure, indigestion, insomnia, liver problems, low libido, sore throat, and urinary tract infections.
