Santhana Kal (Stone for Sandalwood) – Traditional Rubbing Stone for Herbal and Spiritual Use

Herbolaya’s Santhana Kal, also known as the Stone for Sandalwood, is a timeless tool used in Indian households, ayurvedic practices, and spiritual rituals for grinding sandalwood and sacred herbs into fine paste. Handcrafted from naturally sourced granite, this traditional rubbing stone reflects the purity, durability, and cultural heritage of ancient Indian wisdom.

Authentic Sandalwood Grinding Stone – Preserving Ancient Traditions

Used for generations across South Asia, Santhana Kal is a flat, coarse stone designed for friction-based grinding. When sandalwood or other herbs are rubbed with a few drops of water, the stone releases a fine, aromatic paste ideal for spiritual, cosmetic, or medicinal use. Unlike electric grinders, this natural tool preserves the raw essence and energy of the herb or wood being used.

This stone is not only a utility item but also a symbol of simplicity and mindful living.
