A comprehensive introduction to agarwood bracelets
1. Scarcity of resources
Vietnam has been famous for its high-quality agarwood since ancient times (such as Nha Trang agarwood and Phu Son red clay), but due to over-exploitation, wild agarwood is almost extinct. Currently, most of the raw materials are small shell-shaped materials or smoked materials. Large materials that can be made into beads are extremely rare, especially the water-sinking grade (high oil content to sink in water) is a treasure.
3. Texture and oil
Nha Trang agarwood has a dark brown straight grain, and the oil is distributed along the wood grain, which is obviously different from the spiral pattern of the Xingzhou series (Indonesia and other places). – The water-sinking grade bracelet has rich oil, clear oil lines under light, and a warm touch.
2. Fragrance levels
– **Raw smell**: Elegant, sweet, cool, and penetrating. – **Heated in the oven**: Exudes sweet, floral and fruity aromas with complex layers (the fragrance of Xingzhou is relatively simple).
4. Medicinal and health-preserving
Agarwood is warm and spicy in nature. It is used in traditional medicine to:
– Promotes the flow of qi and relieves pain, warms the stomach and stops vomiting, and relieves asthma.
– When worn, the body temperature stimulates the aroma, which can calm the mind, help sleep, relieve anxiety, and regulate cardiovascular function.
If not worn for a long time, keep it sealed in a cool place to keep the fragrance.
