Sandalwood is the most valuable tree in the world. As with gold, platinum and diamonds, it owes
its value to a demand based on ritual, fashion and scarcity. It is the stuff of mystery and intrigue,
and fortunes can still be made from it.

"Use of α- and β-santalols major constituents of sandal wood oil, in the treatment of warts, skin
blemishes and other viral-induced tumors." Abstract. The present invention provides a method for
the treatment of viral-induced tumors in mammals, more specifically, human warts. The method
uses α- and β-santalols, or mixtures or derivatives thereof, to prepare medicaments for the
treatment of viral-induced tumors i.e., warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) in
humans. The method of the invention comprises the topical administration of α- and β-santalols,
or mixtures or derivatives thereof, in a composition derived therefrom, to the human epidermis, as
needed. The present invention is also concerned with a unique antiviral composition useful for
topical application. The antiviral composition according to this invention is also effective against
other DNA viruses such as the DNA pox virus that causes Molluscum contagiosum and may be
effective against other DNA viruses such as AIDS virus and RNA viruses. The α- and β-santalols
composition, or mixtures or derivatives thereof, may also be effective in the treatment of genital
warts and HPV of the genital tract and in the treatment of cancer of the skin and cervix. The α-
and β-santalols, or mixtures or derivatives thereof, may also be effective in the prevention of
dryness of the skin, rashes and flakiness associated with seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and
allergic or eczematous rashes of the skin. The α- and β-santalols, or mixtures or derivatives
thereof, may also be effective in the treatment of acne lesions of the face and the body and in the
eradication of pustular acne lesions caused by staphylococcal acne and streptococcal bacterial
infections.
