Agaru Churna from Riddhish Herbals is a pure powder of the resinous heartwood of Aquilaria agallocha (Agarwood, known in Ayurveda as Aguru or Krishnaguru). Classical texts describe it as a Katu–Tikta (pungent–bitter), Ushna-virya (heating) dravya traditionally valued for balancing Kapha and Vata dosha. A 2016 review in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (Hashim et al.) surveyed the traditional use and phytochemistry of Aquilaria species. Each pack is genuine, bill-provided material from a doctor-guided store operating since 2015.
About Agaru Churna (Agarwood)
Agaru is the fragrant, resin-laden heartwood of Aquilaria agallocha (syn. A. malaccensis), one of the most treasured aromatic woods of the classical world. The tree develops its dark, resinous wood over years through a natural process, and it is this heartwood — not the outer timber — that is milled into Agaru Churna.
Riddhish Herbals supplies this powder as a single-herb raw material for traditional Ayurvedic and aromatic use. Every order carries a bill, and sourcing follows our doctor-guided selection standard. In English the same material is sold as Agarwood, Eaglewood or Black Agar Powder.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Classical Ayurvedic texts place Agaru among the valued aromatic dravyas. It is described with Katu (pungent) and Tikta (bitter) rasa, Laghu (light) and Tikshna (piercing) guna, Ushna (heating) virya and Katu vipaka. By these qualities it is classically said to balance Kapha and Vata while mildly increasing Pitta.
Agaru appears in the classical literature — including references in the Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthana, Ch. 25) and the Bhavaprakasha Nighantu — where its warm, grounding aroma and its role in traditional aromatic and skin-care contexts are noted. It has long been used both internally in small quantity and externally in classical fragrant preparations.

How to Use
As directed by your Ayurvedic physician. Agaru Churna is traditionally taken in small quantity with warm water or honey as anupan, or used externally in classical aromatic and skin-care preparations. The right dose, anupan and duration are matched to your Prakriti and Agni by a qualified Vaidya.
Who Can Use It
Adults following an Ayurvedic wellness routine, ideally under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic physician. Because Agaru is Ushna (heating) in potency, those with a strong Pitta tendency should use it moderately. Not advised during pregnancy or lactation without professional advice. Children should use only as directed by a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
Safety Information
Agaru is Ushna-virya (heating); people with predominant Pitta or a tendency to acidity should use it in moderation and with a physician's advice. Discontinue and consult a physician if any discomfort occurs. Consult your physician before use if pregnant, lactating, on medication, or managing any health condition. Results may vary from person to person.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed after each use to preserve the natural aroma of the heartwood powder.
