Why is Daphne so expensive? What's the use?
Aquilaria sinensis is a known medicinal material and aromatic material. It is an oil-wood mixture formed by the injury and infection of fragrant trees for a long time. Daphne is only the host of Aquilaria sinensis, which is the woody part of fragrant trees and has no fragrance.
The high price of agarwood is caused by many factors. Before, I learned about aromatherapy every day, and there were also articles introduced. Here, I share some common and main reasons for the topic.
Rare agarwood is a rare and difficult natural resource to regenerate, especially high-quality agarwood. The regeneration speed is very slow and the growth requirements are extremely special. Moreover, the consumption of agarwood is very large, and the consumption of agarwood as a medicinal material and as a fragrant material is huge; It has extremely high health care value and can be used daily, such as making tea, soaking in wine, wearing it daily, smelling incense, etc. This is also an important reason for the continuous reduction of agarwood resources.
There is a peculiar fragrance and charm, which is a major feature of agarwood. Generally speaking, agarwood tastes cool, with flowers, fruits, medicines and milk. These flavors are mixed together, and finally give off different sensory flavors, which fully shows the magic of agarwood.
Multi-purpose agarwood is not only a good fragrant material, but also a very precious medicinal material. Aquilaria sinensis can treat many diseases, such as stomach cold, kidney deficiency, weakness of waist and knees, deficiency of large intestine, urinary stranguria, cold semen of men and so on. There are also many Chinese patent medicines made of agarwood, such as agarwood Yujie Pill, agarwood Yanghan Pill, agarwood Huaqi Pill and Bawei agarwood Pill.
The scarcity and high use value of resources doomed the extraordinary agarwood.
