The tree is endemic to central Chile, occurring between 33\u00b0 and 40\u00b0 southern latitude, where it forms a characteristic part of the region's sclerophyllous forest alongside other native trees. Its leaves carry a strong, woody, slightly bitter flavor and a camphor-like aroma.<\/p>\n      <p>Boldo is a staple of folk medicine across much of South America \u2014 Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil \u2014 used in both urban and rural households. The leaves are used similarly to bay leaves in cooking and are commonly added to yerba mate or other teas to moderate their flavor; many families keep a boldo plant at home for this purpose.<\/p>\n      <p>Burned as incense, boldo releases a woody, camphor-like, slightly bitter scent. It is traditionally associated with inner clarity and calm, in keeping with its long history as a gentle folk remedy across South America.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n \n  <div class=\"iom-plant\">\n    <div class=\"iom-plant-photo\">\n      <img src=\"http:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Santalum_paniculatum_1326-853x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sandalwood\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"iom-plant-text\">\n      <span class=\"iom-plant-name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/sandelholz\/\">Sandalwood<\/a><\/span>\n      <p>Sandalwood refers to the heavy, yellow, fine-grained wood of several tree species in the genus Santalum. Unlike most aromatic woods, it retains its fragrance for decades. The trees are hemiparasitic \u2014 related to European mistletoe \u2014 and require at least 15 years to develop commercially valuable, fragrance-rich heartwood. The best-known species are Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) and Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum), native to India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Australia, Indonesia, and other Pacific regions.<\/p>\n      <p>Sandalwood ranks among the most sacred substances across numerous world religions. In Hinduism and Ayurveda it is considered holy and associated with Shiva and the goddess Lakshmi; ground into a paste (chandanam), it is central to rituals, temple worship, and meditation, and is applied to devotees' foreheads and necks. In Jainism, sandalwood paste accompanies daily worship and cremation ceremonies. In Buddhism its scent is believed to support alertness during meditation and is among the most popular incense offered to the Buddha, a use echoed in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean traditions. Zoroastrians place sandalwood twigs into the sacred fire of their temples to keep it burning.<\/p>\n      <p>Burned, sandalwood releases a soft, warm, creamy, woody scent of great persistence. It has been prized as a perfumery fixative for centuries, and across many spiritual traditions is considered a means of drawing the mind closer to the divine.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n \n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incense of Music 33 Manlio Maresca &amp; Manual for Errors Quartet A multisensory concert \u2013 Friday, 19 April 2019, 8 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2206,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,2],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2201"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2201"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2201\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9286,"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2201\/revisions\/9286"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/incenseofmusic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
