Hindi Agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis)

Table of Contents

Hindi agarwood, also known as Indian agarwood or Agarbati agarwood, is a precious resin obtained from the Aquilaria malaccensis tree, which is native to Northeast India, particularly the states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, and Nagaland

Formation of Agarwood

Agarwood forms when the Aquilaria malaccensis tree is infected with a fungus. In response to the infection, the tree produces a dark, resinous substance that is agarwood. The resin is typically found in the heartwood of the tree and has a distinctive, sweet, and slightly spicy aroma.
