History:  The documented use of Sandalwood goes back 4000 years to India, Egypt, Greece and Rome.  Many temples and structures were built from Sandalwood and the Egyptians used it in embalming.  This practice has steadily decreased to the point where Sandalwood East Indian is now only being used for the distillation of oil.  The largest reason for this is the over-harvesting of the tree coupled with the 30-year period required for the regeneration.
