Ayurveda is the native traditional medicine of India. For a long time it has been forbidden, particularly during the English colonization, it knows a renewal of activity since Gandhi has bring it up to date. It is still practised in South Asia where it is an alternative in western medicine.
Ayurveda draws its sources from Vedas texts, particularly from the Atharva-Veda. The cure principles and outlines in the Atharva-Veda rest upon sound and speech. Afterward, two medical treaties, Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita came to detail and to materialize the ayurveda. Thus, we find in Sushruta Samhita the description of 1120 diseases, 700 healing plants of which the oud, 64 preparations from mineral substances and 57 with animal substances.
Ayurveda believes in the balance of three “moods or spirits” or doshas, present at different stage in individuals. A pathology is the result of a disturbance of the balance of doshas and to heal, it is thus necessary to restore this balance
Agarwood is used as incense and as oil to cure. Non-infected aquilaria wood (which is thus, not agarwood) is used in the form of powder.
It is used to cure a lot of diseases: sexual disorder (its oil is considered as the most powerful aphrodisiac essential oil) and urinary, skin diseases, eyes and ear problems.
Agarwood and its oil are “hot” when used, and are manipulated in order to restore vigour to the body, heal the heart but also respiratory diseases as asthma and all the diseases resulting from the cold, particularly at the breast and head level.
Finally it is very effective against mental disorders.
