English Name: Agarwood
Description:
Agaru, commonly referred to as Agarwood, Oud, or Aloe Wood, is a highly esteemed evergreen plant found in Northeast India and Southeast Asia. The valuable resinous wood forms after the plant is infected by a specific mold, prized for its aromatic scent and medicinal benefits. Its strong fragrance makes it a sought-after component in incense, essential oils, and perfumes. In Ayurveda, Agaru is extensively utilized for its healing effects on both body and mind. The powder and oil derived from the wood possess significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making them effective in alleviating joint pain and conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Regularly massaging with Agaru oil can ease joint stiffness and discomfort by helping to balance Vata dosha. The herb also promotes respiratory health, as its warming properties and ability to balance Kapha assist in clearing mucus and alleviating bronchitis. Additionally, Agaru contributes to liver health by reducing inflammation and shielding against free radical damage. Its healing properties are beneficial for skin issues such as eczema and rashes when combined with coconut oil. Due to its warming nature, it is especially effective in balancing Vata and Kapha doshas, though those with heat sensitivities should use it with caution.
