Agarwood is the dry woody oil-bearing part of the Agarwood plant of the Thymeaceae family. It is a kind of wood, spice and traditional Chinese medicine.

Agarwood is also known as agarwood. Agarwood wood is hard, mostly does not float in water, and tastes slightly bitter but sweet. The thick smoke when burning emits a strong aroma, and black oil oozes out. Agarwood is mainly distributed in Guangdong and Guangxi, Yunnan, Fujian and other places in my country. In East Asian countries, the quality of agarwood (Xinzhou incense) produced in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore is the best.

After the agarwood tree begins to produce fragrance due to lesions, it will go through a long growth period, which will take at least several years to more than ten years. However, a piece of high-quality agarwood will take decades or even hundreds of years to form. Therefore, the output is very small, and the market is in short supply, so it is very precious and has high collection value. In addition, the wood, tree heads and roots of agarwood can be used to make high-grade incense for worship and incense.

Agarwood products:

1. Incense sticks. Common linear incense can also be subdivided into "standing incense" that burns vertically, "lying incense" that burns horizontally, "bamboo stick incense" with a bamboo core, and so on.

2. Coil incense. Also known as "ring incense", spirally coiled incense can be hung or held up with a stand for burning. Some small coiled incense can also be used directly flat in the incense burner.

3. Fragrant powder. Also known as "milk incense", it is powdered incense and requires the use of some incense utensils.

4. Buddhist beads. The original name of "rosary" originated from the name of chanting the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, which is used to eliminate troubles and obstacles. Usually they can be divided into three types: holding beads, wearing beads, and hanging beads. The number of beads on each string represents different meanings.

5. Pendants, accessories, ornaments, etc. Agarwood is a rare material. Turning it into a work of art can not only be played with at any time, but also has great art collection value.
