Agarwood incense is one of the most revered offerings in traditional Buddhist practice, valued for its deeply soothing scent and therapeutic benefits. Harvested from the resinous heartwood of the Aquilaria tree, this incense carries a rich history of spiritual use across Asia, and particularly in Tibetan medicine. The warm, sweet, and complex aroma makes it an ideal companion for evening practice, meditation, or winding down the day.
Symbolism & Meaning
In Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic cultures, agarwood is treasured as a sacred scent that purifies the mind and space. It is particularly significant in Tibetan medicine for treating rlung (wind) disorders—emotional and energetic imbalances such as anxiety, panic, or depression. Among practitioners engaged in deep meditation or mantra retreat, agarwood is known to prevent and soothe sok rlung, a form of spiritual fatigue. Burning agarwood incense invokes a calming clarity and supports one’s ability to rest, center, and stabilize the winds of the mind.
