Mutra means ooze and krichra mean painful. Thus, dysuria and painful urination are called Mutrakcchra. In the case of urinary tract infection, Sandalwood oil helps to control the burning sensation. This is because of its Mutral (diuretic) and Sita(cold) properties. It increases urine flow and reduces the symptoms of UTI like a burning sensation during urination.<\/p>\n<h4>Useful in managing fever<\/h4>\n<p>Fever is a condition which occurs due to an imbalance of Pitta dosha which leads to increased body temperature. Sandalwood helps manage fever due to its Pitta balancing property. It also reduces body heat due to its Sita (cold) properties.<\/p>\n<h4>Relieves anxiety and calms mind<\/h4>\n<p>Due to its anti-anxiety properties, one of the most popular uses of sandalwood oil in aromatherapy is to help soothe anxiety, fear, grief, or irritability.<\/p>\n<p>Various studies have shown that sandalwood is a great essential oil to help cope with stressful and worrisome situations. Studies have found that santalols in sandalwood have a relaxing and sedative effects when a person is undergoing physiological problems. The effects of inhaling sandalwood helped to stimulate positive emotions and make a person calmer.<\/p>\n<h4>Useful in Skin problems<\/h4>\n<p>Sandalwood has long been used in skincare for its remarkable ability to rejuvenate the skin. Its antioxidant and astringent properties help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting the synthesis of collagen. Topical applications of sandalwood oil can soothe irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and aid in the healing of minor wounds and blemishes. These effects not only contribute to a more youthful complexion but also support the skin\u2019s natural barrier against environmental aggressors.<\/p>\n<h4>Anti inflammatory effect<\/h4>\n<p>Inflammation is a key contributor to many chronic conditions, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders. Sandalwood\u2019s potent anti-inflammatory properties help mitigate this risk by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress. Its bioactive compounds work together to modulate the immune system, ensuring a balanced response to infections and stressors without overactivation. This immunomodulatory effect is particularly beneficial for maintaining long-term health and preventing degenerative diseases.<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages of Sandalwood in Ayurveda<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Rakth prasadana\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0:\u00a0 Detoxify blood useful in bleeding disorder.<\/p>\n<p><b>Vrushya<\/b>: act as aphrodisiac.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pittahar<\/b>: Balances pitta dosha and useful in gastritis.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 19px;\">Dahahar\u00a0<\/strong>: helps to relieve burning sensation in neuropathy,gastritis.<\/p>\n<p><b>Vishhar<\/b>: Useful as anti toxic herb<\/p>\n<p><b>Trushnahar<\/b>: Helps in relieving excess thirst<\/p>\n<p><strong>Krumi\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0:\u00a0 Useful in worm infestation.<\/p>\n<p><b>Shramahar, Klamhar<\/b>: Relieves tiredness,fatigue<\/p>\n<p><b>Ahladana<\/b>: brings about pleasant effect nourishes sense organs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Asya rog\u00a0<\/b>: Useful in healing mouth ulcers.<\/p>\n<h2>Varieties of Sandalwood<\/h2>\n<p>There are mainly two types varieties of sandalwood<\/p>\n<p>1.
