Welcome

Agarwood is not the wood itself. Agarwood is the sap and resin that is produced by the tree for healing.  An agarwood tree that has been damaged, (maybe hurt by human beings, maybe subjected to insect or ant manifestation, or by fire, flood and/or wind) creates the sap and resin to heal and protect itself. The tree needs at least 20 years to fully form its healing properties.  

Incense burning has been enjoyed in China as early as 5000 years ago. And became prominent in the Song Dynasty around 1500 years ago where there was a culture of burning incense throughout the royal palaces and households. From the royal palaces, incense burning in China was used during festivals and processions to honour ancestors and household gods.  In Japan, incense was incorporated into the Shintō ritual, and some samurais used it to perfume his helmet and armour to achieve an aura of invincibility (as well as to make a noble gesture to whoever might take his head in battle). In Greece as early as the 8th century BCE, woods and resins were burned as an offering to gods and for protection against demons. Ancient Egyptians used incense to cover smells from mummy’s and to protect them from evil spirits. Now,  what was once only available to royalty and spiritual leaders, is available to all.
