Agarwood Essential Oil: Benefits, Effects and Care Guide
Agarwood essential oil has multiple benefits for the human body, such as: improving one's aura, relieving stress, aiding sleep and countering depression, regulating body and mind, and promoting the body's metabolism. Adding a few drops of agarwood essential oil to hot water for a foot soak can achieve the purpose of activating blood circulation and meridians, and can also achieve the effect of removing foot odor and smelly feet.
Agarwood essential oil can be used directly for offerings to the Buddha, or applied to ritual implements and prayer beads to achieve a conditioning effect, and can also be applied to the body of practitioners to calm the mind and refresh the spirit. Li Shizhen once greatly praised its important status in traditional Chinese medicine, as a good medicine for treating stomach cold, abdominal bloating, asthma, and kidney deficiency; the major role played by agarwood is evident from this.
