The
Truth of Agarwood
Agarwood (Aquilaria agallocha Roxb.) is a kind of oleoresin formed
inside in the agarwood tree. Agarwood tree can live more than a
thousand year, so some of the highest quality agarwood also has been
formed for the same long period of time.
Agarwood is a resinous wood that sometimes occurs in trees belonging
to the Aquilaria genus, Thymelaeceae family. Aquilaria is a
fast-growing, archaic tropical forest tree, which occurs in South and
Southeast Asia.

The
tree grows in natural forests at an altitude of a few meters above sea
level to about 1000 meters, and it grows best around 500 meters. It
can grow on a wide range of soils, including poor sandy soil.
Seedlings need a lot of shade and water. Trees grow very fast, and
start producing flowers and seeds as early as four years old. At least
fifteen species of Aquilaria trees are known to produce the much
sought-after Agarwood. In South Asia Aquilaria achalloga is found,
particularly in India, Aquilaria malaccensis is mostly known from
Malaysia and Indonesia, and Aquilaria crassna principally grows in
Indochina. A number of other species are known such as Aquilaria
grandfolia, Aquilaria chinesis etc.

Unlike
other kind of fragrant wood or material, agar wood does not generate
obvious fragrance before burning. It only generates great fragrance
when it is burned. The fragrance is effected by various factors such
as level of containing oleoresin, reason of forming oleoresin and the
color of resin. |

Oleo-resin: A natural or prepared material. Natural oleo-resins
are exudations from tree trunks, bark, etc.; prepared oleo-resins are
extracted using solvents.
Resin: A natural or prepared product. Natural resins are solid
or semi-solid, almost odorless exudations from trees or plants formed
in Nature by the oxidation of terpenes. Prepared resins are
Oleo-resins from which the essential oil has been removed.

It is
no doubt that agarwood is a kind of highly precious and effective
natural medicinal materials. Its preciousness has been presented in
countless occasions in history, medicine, and religious books
(including the Bible). Because it takes so long to form high quality
agarwoods, the demand for agarwood is much higher than the supply. It
results that most agarwoods and agarwood related products sold in the
market are adulterated
With our experience of more than 25 years, we can
guarantee for quality’s control, and output will be the same. |
