In the Far East the wood is treasured for the unique perfume that it produces, and its use as an incense in spiritual practises and religious ceremonies accounts for most of the commercial production of this wood. The essential oud oil is also used for anointing and in sacred oud oil blends.
In Ayurveda, Agarwood is used primarily for its warming qualities and for its deep effects on the mind when burnt as incense. The powdered heartwood is also used as a treatment of diarrhea, dysentery, vomiting and anorexia. Agarwood oud oil is recommended for augmenting mental clarity, opening the third eye and all of the chakras in the upper part of the body.
