Since ancient times, agarwood has been regarded as a precious spice and Chinese herbal medicine. In the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that "agarwood is one or two, and gold is one or two". Modern science and technology can further "tap the potential" and extend the industrial chains such as agarwood tea and agarwood wine.
(Qing) Chen Shiduo's "New Edition of Materia Medica": "The agarwood that warms the kidney and clears the heart, uses coptis and cinnamon to clear the heart and kidney. If you don't use agarwood, it will be more convenient, and you can use one medicine for two purposes. However, it is better to use it on heart-to-heart kidney, and it costs a sum of money. Without grinding, slicing is the end. It can also be taken in heart and kidney supplements. "
Vernacular interpretation: The agarwood that warms the kidney can also help the heart. It is best to use agarwood, one medicine and two purposes, to communicate heart and kidney. However, if the heart and kidney intersect, it is better to add more money. You don't have to use a water mill, cut a piece and grind it into powder, and make it into a heart and kidney tonic.
