Description | NOTE: This Chen Xiang is close to the bark, very dry, so it will float instead of sinking, and the smell is light. When Chen Xiang is good quality, close to the center of the tree, it is very aromatic, but very expensive. This more affordable option should not be mistaken for good quality and full or resin. Aquilariae Lignum resinatum (Chen Xiang) sinks and directs downward, but is not overly draining, nor is its warmth overly drying. Thus it can warm the middle and direct rebellious qi downward, while also warming the Kidneys to grasp qi. Because it promotes the flow of qi, disperses coldness, directs downward and stops nausea, it is often used in the treatment of cold constraint in the chest and abdominal distention, belching, hiccough, nausea and vomiting. Because it assists the Kidneys in grasping the qi, it calms wheezing due to Kidney deficiency. (Chinese Herbal Materia Medica)* |
