Aquilaria sinensis (medicinal material)
Daphne family is the dried wood of trees such as Aquilaria sinensis or Aquilaria sinensis.
The oily part is a kind of wood, spices and traditional Chinese medicine. When stimulated by trauma or Zhen Hong yeast infection, the tree core of Daphne plants will
Secrete a lot of resin to help heal, and produce fragrant tissues in the process. These parts will sink into the water because of their high density.
Known as "agarwood".
According to Compendium of Materia Medica, Daphne plants have a strong antibacterial effect, which is fragrant into the spleen, refreshing the brain and regulating qi, nourishing the five internal organs, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and warming and nourishing.
Warming the stomach and strengthening the spleen, ventilating and relieving pain can be used as medicine. This is the best medicine. There are many kinds of Daphne, which are divided into "submerged" according to oil content (this
It is the substance or middle part of agarwood, and the dense and firm part of paste will sink when poured into water) and "raft" (semi-floating and semi-sinking).
And "yellow ripe fragrance" (insoluble in water).
2. Ancient records of agarwood
From the appearance, it is close to the eagle wood agarwood produced in Indonesia in Xingzhou, and its quality is above average. To determine whether it is really agarwood, you need to scrape it with a knife.
Get some bread crumbs. Put it on a metal film and bake it with fire at a temperature of (170- 190 degrees). If it is agarwood, the room is full of incense. Even if it's only a little bit
Powder crumbs. Smoked burning is the best way to judge agarwood. Aquilaria sinensis is the king of spices. Aquilaria sinensis smells better every time, but Aquilaria sinensis is nothing.
A perfume that everyone will like or like. It is unique in that it can cover up other smells, that is, the so-called one fragrance suppresses a hundred fragrances. The following is me
The article "Aquilaria Resinatum" published in his early years. For reference. "Aquilaria sinensis" Aquilaria sinensis is not entirely a kind of wood, and Aquilaria sinensis is not equal to Aquilaria sinensis. water channel
Xiang is composed of eight kinds of agarwood in the world: Indian agarwood, American agarwood, Malay agarwood, wild agarwood, thick agarwood, Malay agarwood and earth agarwood.
The trees of Aquilaria sinensis (Aquilaria sinensis) are knotted. The formation of agarwood is that these trees are bitten by insects in nature, blown off by the wind and struck by lightning.
Because the trunk was invaded and parasitized by fungi after injury, the starch stored in wood parenchyma cells was eroded and decayed under the action of enzymes in bacteria, and the yield increased.
After a series of changes, balsam was formed, and finally after years or even thousands of years of deposition, solid condensate containing balsam and wood components was formed. this
It is recorded in ancient books; After nearly a thousand years of corrosion, the exudate produced by insect biting wood will not leave a rotten zone.
Fragrant wood chips. Compendium of Materia Medica: "Those who accumulate old wood have rotten skin for many years, and their heart branches are not bad, hard and black, that is,"
Chen Xiang also. "That is, what we are talking about now is the real aloes. There are three elements forming agarwood: 1, which must be heavy.
Wood of aromatic tree species. 2, eroded by agarwood fungi. 3. The primary factor that changes or partially changes the wood properties after many years.
In a word, the longer the age of agarwood, the longer the balsam deposition time, and the better the quality of agarwood. The second element is the noble quality and fragrance of agarwood.
No, it depends on the strain and source of agarwood fungi. Different agarwood trees have different habitats, different geographical environments and different soil and water.
Source, swamp, coincidence of nature, long time ago. Thousands of different reasons. The fragrance of that generate agarwood will be slightly different,
The smell is different and unpredictable. The third factor affects the actual value of agarwood. Most agarwood is only local or punctate and filamentous.
Shape, radial and other forms erode wood, forming a structure that contains agarwood oil and penetrates into the wood and interweaves with the remaining wood fibers. this
It is-agarwood in a broad sense. Usually it depends on whether the internal structure of wood has been completely transformed or decomposed, forming a fat aroma similar to agarwood.
The proportion of things and the dignity of incense are the first to determine the value of agarwood. There is also agarwood found in nature, which is not fragrant but smelly. This also shows that Shen
The difference between the quality and fragrance of incense. Relationship with value. The classification and naming of Aquilaria sinensis is very complicated, which is difficult at all times and in all countries.
Unity, but we can sum up the practical significance of these messy names and kinds of agarwood from two important aspects.
Class: 1. The origin of Aquilaria sinensis is very important. As we know, natural and wild Aquilaria sinensis has disappeared in China, accounting for 70% of the world's total.
More than 90% of the natural and wild agarwood is produced in Indonesia, and 90% of the wild agarwood in Indonesia is produced in three areas of Yilian Province. According to industry insiders,
Hiram agarwood is trying to prove that she is a natural agarwood. 2, familiar with the so-called familiar name "Hiran agarwood" shows that it is natural.
Formed, although there are advantages and disadvantages, but the title of "Hiran agarwood" also has its price positioning.
