Sandalwood (Santalum album), locally known as “Chandan,” refers to the aromatic wood derived from tree species of the genus Santalum in the family Santalaceae. Thriving in Nepal’s mid-hills at altitudes ranging from 700 to 1,200 meters, sandalwood is a highly sought-after plant due to its distinctive fragrance and numerous therapeutic properties. The tree grows to heights of 4 to 9 meters and is particularly valued for its heartwood, which is the source of its rich aroma and essential oil. Renowned for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-proliferative properties, sandalwood plays a significant role in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and aromatherapy industries. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the heartwood, ensuring the preservation of its unique qualities. We source sandalwood from the midwestern hills, where it is cultivated and harvested sustainably. The harvesting season spans from March to June, providing a consistent and eco-friendly supply of this precious resource.

Testimonials

Yolanda Cathcart

I have been a long time consumer of Annapurna Aroma essential oils.  I have purchased and loved the quality and integrity of the oils.  I have personally used Lemongrass, French basil, Corn-mint and Blue Chamomile.  On an energetic level the oils provide me with energy, clarity and peace of mind.  The aroma of the oils immediately makes me think of purity.  The oils have always been consistent and never appeared to smell off or oxidized.  As a company, I love the transparency and the ability to communicate easily.  Every question that I ever presented to the company was addressed in a timely manner.  May this company continue to move in a positive direction and may their oils help those that are in need of emotional support and wellbeing.

“I’ve been working with Prasun Satyal for many years now originally buying their beautiful blue chamomile! I’ve purchased many other oils from them over the years because their company is trustworthy and they care about the quality of their oils.”
