Agarkaram is a traditional aromatic herbal substance, usually referring to powdered or processed Agarwood (resinous wood). It is valued for its strong fragrance, warming nature, and therapeutic properties and is widely used in Siddha medicine, Ayurveda, Unani, incense making, and pooja practices.
Agarkaram is prepared from the resin-rich heartwood of the Agar tree. The wood develops fragrance naturally over time and is then dried and powdered or used as small pieces.
