More Than Perfume: The Medicinal Benefits of Pure Oudh Oil

Pure oudh (agarwood) oil isn't just a luxurious scent—it is a potent traditional remedy with remarkable medicinal value.

In Unani and Ayurvedic medicine, oudh oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and psychoactive properties. Traditionally, it has been used to reduce stress, enhance clarity, and treat digestive and respiratory ailments.

Recent scientific studies support these claims. A 2021 study published in the *Journal of Ethnopharmacology* demonstrated that oudh oil contains sesquiterpenes with strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, contributing to cellular health and detoxification.

Some holistic practitioners recommend placing a single drop in warm water or tea (under expert supervision) for internal detoxification and immune support. The oil has also been studied for its anti-cancer potential. Research from the *Cancer Research and Treatment Journal* observed agarwood extract’s cytotoxicity on specific cancer cell lines, suggesting promising avenues for natural therapy.

While it is not a cure, the potential benefits of pure oudh are profound when used with care and authenticity.
