Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Where from can I buy good quality sandalwood powder ? Is there much difference among all three (white, red and yellow)types of sandalwood powder ? If I want to use it mainly for skin purposes (acne problems and to pacify my pitta ) what colour should I go for ? Regards, Sraboni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can remember the white sandalwood is used mainly for external application and the red for internal application (candanaasava etc). I have actually not heard about a yellow type. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can fill in. Sandalwood is getting increasingly rare, so I would think twice about buying it, and in that case from where/whom. /Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 According to Ayurvedic practice, whenever the word Chandan is mentioned, one should consider the red Sandalwood. While preparing powder,oil,ghee, asava-arishta and jam(leha), white Sandalwoodis used. For the purpose of decoction, juice and paste for external application, red Sandalwood is preferred.
