沉香

沉香，又名沉水香，是极为珍贵的植物香料，被誉为“木中钻石”。沉香结香难得，上好的沉香，历经百年才得以形成，自古就有“一两沉香，一两金”的说法。

古医书中有记，沉香乃名贵药材；有行气止痛、温中降逆、纳气平喘等功效；入药口服或燃香入鼻均可。《本草备要》道，沉香“行气不伤气，温中不助火”，最适调理之用。

香道中，沉香被誉为“沉檀龙麝”四香之首；其香味婉转玄妙、层次多变，可安神静心、舒缓压力、使人心平气和，更有助于改善睡眠。

世界五大宗教均视沉香为供奉圣物：佛教中认为沉香是唯一可通三届的香气，可去除不净、定神安邪灵、增气旺寿；基督教、天主教《圣经》中，沉香是基督降世之前，三位先知带来人间的三件宝物之一；道教及回教的重要仪式中，沉香也多被使用以供养和传诚达信。

AGARWOOD

Agarwood, the ”Wood of the Gods”, has been highly coveted for thousands of years. The trees take decades to mature and high grade Agarwood takes hundreds of years to form.

Agarwood has a rich history of medicinal use in many cultures. Since 3000 years ago, it has been applied as Anesthetic to ease and to numb away all type of pain. The all-natural unique Essence is in a position to calm one’s active mind effectively for that reason bringing inner peace to those that are searching for spiritual and healing.

Agarwood has been a highly valued commodity and its heady scents have historical connections stretching across Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity.
