Is Qin Nanxiang called the elixir of life?

The magical effect of Qin Nanxiang can be called an elixir. In the earliest pharmacopoeia, the characteristics of Qinnanxiang were recorded-smelling its taste, such as practicing Qigong, can eliminate all kinds of toxic gas in vitro and pathogenic gas in vivo, so as to regulate the operation of qi in vivo; Wear it on the body to ward off evil spirits, clear the heart and soothe the nerves. Warming channels and calming nerves can activate five internal organs and six veins, dredge blood vessels, soothe the nerves and refresh the mind, and is suitable for patients with heart disease, hypertension and qi-blood imbalance. It is recorded in "usurping the medical forest" that tonifying kidney and nourishing life, warming the middle warmer, drying spleen and dampness, clearing heart and descending adverse; Compendium of Materia Medica records: treating upper heat and lower cold, qi reverse asthma, urinary stranguria, essence stagnation, wind-cold paralysis, wet wind itching, abdominal pain and gas dysentery. Qinnanxiang is the best of agarwood, and its ancient name is Agar, which was transliterated in ancient China, including Qinnan, Lan Qi, Lan Qi, Jianan and Qinnan.

The origin of Chimonanthus praecox is basically the same as that of common agarwood, but there are many differences between them. The density of Chimonanthus praecox is not as good as that of Aquilaria sinensis. The first-class Aquilaria sinensis sinks in the water, while the first-class Chimonanthus praecox is mostly semi-sinking and semi-floating, and a few rare Chimonanthus praecox sinks in the water. Most agarwood is hard, while Qin 'an is soft and sticky, and the cut pieces can even form Zhu Xiang. Microscopically, it can be found that the oil glands in Aquilaria sinensis gather together, while the oil glands in Qin 'an are lifelike.

When smoked and burned, the aroma of Aquilaria sinensis is very stable, while the head aroma, original aroma and tail aroma of Qin 'an have obvious changes. Moreover, the yield of Qinnanxiang is less than that of Aquilaria sinensis. Due to various reasons, Qinnanxiang is particularly precious. In the Song Dynasty, Qin 'an, which occupied the city (now Vietnam), was already "a piece of gold". Until now, most of the best Qin 'an are still produced in Vietnam. There is a folk saying that a person can only smell the strange fragrance if he has accumulated the virtue of three lives, and he can only taste or drink the strange fragrance if he is blessed by eight lives.

If you really want to buy Qin 'an agarwood, I suggest you take a look at the fragrant agarwood, which is of high quality and will bring you many surprises.
