Agarwood, or Aloeswood, is a highly revered incense material considered sacred in many cultures for ages. It is the fragrant, resinous heartwood from the Aquilaria species that is a product of the tree’s immune response to a certain type of parasitic fungus.

This strong, sweet, heavenly aromatic quality is only present in trees that have been affected by this phenomenon. The wood is saturated by the tree’s resin as a form of defense against infection.

Aloeswood has been used in Eastern cultures for millennia as the most highly prized incense material in the world. Its aroma is intense, sharp, sweet, and simply sublime. Burning Aloeswood chips elevates the soul and sharpens the senses and awareness. It has been traditionally used for religious, spiritual, and medicinal purposes for ages.

How to use: Burn small pieces of the wood on hot charcoal. You can purchase our Natural Incense Charcoal here. You can also break up or powder this product down and add to incenses or incorporate into perfumes.

Origins: Aloeswood trees, native to regions of Southeast Asia, are endangered in the wild due to illegal harvesting despite government protection efforts. Our Aloeswood is sustainably grown on a Bio-dynamic plantation in Thailand whose efforts create awareness and increase this plant’s population. All of our products at Higher Mind Incense are free of chemicals or pesticides and are fair-trade and ethically sourced.
