Used as a decoction, tincture and essentail oil.

The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends White Sandalwood 'For adjuvant therapy of infections of the lower urinary tract.'

'Contraindications: Diseases of the parenchyma of the kidney. Side Effects: Nausea, sometimes itching of the skin.'

'Daily dosage: 1 - 1.5 g essential oil; 10 - 20 g drug; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration
Comminuted drug for decoctions as well as other galenical preparations for oral intake. Note: Isolated oil of sandalwood should be used in an enteric coated form. Duration of Administration: Not more than 6 weeks without consultation of a physician. Actions: Antibacterial: Spasmolytic.'

Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Used internally in chronic bronchitis, a few drops on sugar giving relief; also in gonorrhoea and gleet; in chronic cystitis, with benzoic and boric acids. Much used as a perfume for different purposes. The wood is used for making fancy articles and is much carved.'

'Fluid extract, 1 to 2 drachms. Oil, 5 to 20 drops.'

'Adulterants: Castor oil is often added, and on the Continent oil of cedar, made by distilling the chips remaining from the manufacture of lead pencils.'

'Other Species: Pterocarpus santalinus or Santalum rubrum (Red Sandalwood), solely used for colouring and dyeing.'

King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Oil of santal is an active substance of agreeable odor employed in the treatment of subacute and chronic affections of mucous tissues, particularly gonorrhoea after the active symptoms have been mitigated.'

'Chronic bronchitis, with fetid expectoration, chronic mucous diarrhoea, chronic inflammation of the bladder and pyelitis are also said to be benefited by it. It occasionally disturbs the gastro-intestinal tract, and, like copaiba, which it was introduced to supersede, it will occasion cutaneous eruptions. The dose ranges from 5 to 20 drops, in capsules or emulsion.'

American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'The oil of santal is of service in the treatment of sub-acute and chronic inflammations of mucous surfaces, especially those wherein there is excessive secretion. In catarrhal bronchitis it is beneficial, quickly allaying irritation and reducing the excessive discharge.'

'It is in more general use in the treatment of gonorrhea after the subsidence of the acute or active inflammatory phenomena. It will be found of service in the treatment of protracted cases, and in gleet.'
