Wonderful Uses of Agarwood and Sandalwood

Agarwood sinks in water and has a fragrant aroma. In the "Mingyi Bielu" (Records of Famous Physicians), it is the wood of the evergreen trees Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. and A. sinensis (Lour.) Gilg, containing black resin. It is heavy and sinking, moving without dissipating, with more descending than ascending. It is most suitable for symptoms of qi stagnation and upward reversal. Its effect of descending qi is stronger than that of sandalwood, and its application range is wider.
The herbal text *Tongxuan* states that agarwood is "warm but not drying, flowing without stagnation, supporting the spleen and promoting healthy circulation, reaching the kidneys and guiding fire back to its source. It has the effect of relieving nausea and vomiting without harming qi. Therefore, it is an excellent product for regulating qi."
Medical research indicates
that agarwood is pungent, bitter, and warm in nature, and enters the spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians. Modern components include volatile oil (the main components of which are benzyl acetone and p-methoxybenzyl acetone), terpenoids, and cinnamic acid, etc., which have the functions of promoting qi circulation and relieving pain. It warms the middle jiao and relieves nausea. It has the function of regulating kidney qi, and is mainly used to treat qi stagnation due to cold, chest and abdominal distension and pain, stomach cold with vomiting, hiccups, and kidney qi deficiency. Clinically, it is also used for bronchial asthma with good therapeutic effects.
