* skin cancer : A 1997 study published in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention made some interesting observations about sandalwood’s chemo-protective effects, particularly with regards to skin cancer. Rich in sesquiterpenes, sandalwood has long been used by traditional herbalists to make healing skin pastes, and it appears as though one of the uses may have been in the treatment of skin papillomas. Based on the study’s findings, which showed that sandalwood oil decreased papilloma frequency by 67 percent, the authors concluded that it may be an effective way to protect against skin cancer.
* [[Bladder Cancer]] : A recent paper published in the journal Chinese Medicine further identified sandalwood’s anti-cancer potential alongside that of a related oil, frankincense. Operating in coordinated but distinct ways, these two precious oils were observed to both promote cancer cell death and inhibit cancer cell potency. The latter effect is where sandalwood oil really got to show off its power, halting the viability of two particular cells implicated in human bladder cancers: J82 and UROtsa. Like frankincense oil, sandalwood was shown to activate certain signaling pathways in order to fight against these cells, but its mode of achieving this was found to be distinct from its partnered oil.
