- General Information: Red saunder, also known as Pterocarpus santalinus, is a species of tree native to southern India. It is highly valued for its heartwood, which is rich in red dye compounds known as santalin. Red saunder has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, woodworking, and religious ceremonies. The heartwood of the tree is known for its deep red color and pleasant aroma.
- Medicinal Use: Red saunder contains bioactive compounds such as santalinol and pterocarpin, which contribute to its medicinal properties. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, it has been used to treat various health conditions, including skin disorders, inflammation, fever, and digestive issues. Red saunder is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antipyretic effects, making it valuable in promoting overall health and well-being.
- How to Use: Red saunder can be used internally as a decoction or externally as a paste. To make a decoction, boil small pieces of red saunder heartwood in water for about 15-20 minutes, then strain the liquid and allow it to cool before drinking. For external use, grind the heartwood into a fine powder and mix it with water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the affected area, such as skin irritation or inflammation, and leave it on for 20-30 minutes before rinsing off with water. For example, you can make a decoction of red saunder by boiling 1 teaspoon of powdered heartwood in a cup of water, then drinking it as a herbal tea to help alleviate fever or digestive discomfort.
