檀香
檀香, also known as sandalwood, is a fragrant wood derived from trees in the genus Santalum. It is highly valued for its aromatic properties and is commonly used in incense, perfumes, and traditional medicine. The wood has a creamy yellow color and a soft texture, making it easy to carve and shape.
In many cultures, particularly in India and China,檀香 is used in religious rituals and ceremonies. Its calming scent is believed to promote relaxation and meditation. The essential oil extracted from檀香 is also popular in aromatherapy for its soothing effects on the mind and body.
