Agarwood: Agarwood, derived from the dried woody parts of plants like Aquilaria sinensis, forms when the heartwood is stimulated by external injury or fungal infection, leading to the secretion of a fragrant resin. Over years of accumulation, this resin hardens, forming a dense substance known as "water-sinking agarwood" or "agarwood." Pieces that sink in water are called "water-sinking" agarwood; those that float or partially sink are known as "栈沉香" (zhan chen xiang) or "弄水沉香" (nong shui chen xiang); and those that float on the surface are called "yellow ripe agarwood." Agarwood is often referred to as the "top diamond" of the timber world. Though only differing by one character from agarwood wood, there are significant differences in substance and price. It is not only a precious wood and spice but also a high-grade medicinal ingredient. It possesses a stable, simple, and lingering fragrance that soothes the spleen, calms the mind, refreshes the spirit, and enhances concentration. It can also clear the mind and regulate qi, with benefits including antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, sedation, fatigue relief, and warming the kidneys and essence. Agarwood wood has strong antibacterial properties, tonifies the five internal organs, relieves coughs and phlegm, warms the stomach and spleen, regulates qi and pain, and can be used in medicine, making it an important traditional Chinese medicine ingredient. **Contemplation** Birds fly through clouds, yet the clouds remain undisturbed.

Avoid wearing during exposure to sweat, chemical agents, cosmetics, detergents, and toiletries. These liquids can corrode the agarwood bracelet, diminishing its scent and efficacy. 2. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures. Intense sunlight can degrade the agarwood. 3. Most agarwood is relatively soft and susceptible to drops and cracks. Protect it from impact with hard objects, scratches, and falls. 4. When not in use, seal the bracelet in a dedicated airtight bag and store it in a cool place, away from moisture and high temperatures. 5. When handling the agarwood bracelet, wear cotton gloves or ensure your hands are clean and dry. Handle it with dry hands. 6. To experience the original scent of agarwood, do not apply oil or wax. The natural fragrance of agarwood is released through the evaporation of its own oils. Applying oil can cover the surface and even block the pores, preventing the scent from diffusing normally.
