Sandalwood Stick, Safed Chandan

Also known as Sandalwood Stick, Mysore Chandan Stick, Safed Chandan, Chandan Lakri or Pure White Sandalwood.

Safed Chandan usage in Puja

Tilak Havan is an important part of Hindu Poja ceremonies. It applies a tilak, or mark, on one’s forehead with sacred elements. Not only does it have a pleasing aroma, but it also has powerful medicinal properties that make it ideal for pooja or prayer rituals in Hinduism. One such element is Safed Chandan Wood (White Sandalwood), which has been used for centuries to signify purity and spiritual awakening.

Safed Chandan wood chips can create tilaks or teeka on the forehead as part of the ritual puja ceremony. The wood chips are usually mixed with other ingredients like kumkum, and Gopi Chandan paste to create the desired mark and effect on the forehead.

Sandalwood Stick usage in Ayurveda

Ayurveda is an ancient medicinal system originating in India and has been used for centuries to treat various ailments, including skin conditions. One of the most common practices in Ayurveda is using sandalwood sticks to improve skin condition. Sandalwood sticks are made from the wood of tropical trees and contain several natural oils that have anti-inflammatory properties. When applied to the skin, these oils help reduce redness and irritation, making it an effective treatment for acne, psoriasis, eczema, rashes and other inflammatory conditions.

In Ayurvedic medicine, sandalwood sticks are believed to stimulate circulation in the skin while toning and conditioning it simultaneously.
