The difference between agarwood and agarwood

Incense and incense wood, like rubber and rubber trees, bezoar and scalpers, belong to two different substances. Bezoar formed by pathological changes in scalpers is equivalent to the incense produced by pathological changes in incense trees. Chenxiang is said to be wood. Itself is to get the essence of Chenxiang wrong. Let's take a look!

Chenxiang wood

Ampelopsis grossedentata is the dry wood part of Daphneaceae species, which is not only a kind of wood, but also the host of incense. The incense tree mainly grows in the humid tropical rain forest and is mainly distributed in Guangdong and Guangdong, as well as Yunnan, Guizhou and Hainan. In East Asian countries, the incense (Xinzhou incense) produced in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore is the best. the part of this tree that does not form oil is called Chenxiang. Its fast growth rate, low density, and the value of Chenxiang can be said to be very different. It is generally used to make traditional Chinese medicine or fraudulent illegal traders to make medicine to compress and impersonate Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang

Incense, also known as water incense, water incense, etc., is not a kind of incense wood, but a kind of special incense tree "knot" out of incense, which combines the solid condensation of oil (resin) and wood components. when the incense tree encounters some accidental injuries (such as wind break, lightning strike, insect pests, human and animal damage) or its own internal diseases, it is occasionally infected by special fungi in the opening process of the wound. The fungus reacts wonderfully with the resin secreted by the injured area, thus forming a new substance, Chenxiang.
