Different from Sandalwood, aloe is not a kind of wood, but it can secrete resin to repair the injured part after being injured and infected by fungus. Therefore, it opens the biosynthesis of wound healing and repair. After decades or even hundreds of years, it will form rare aloe.
According to the different reasons of forming fragrance, aloe can be divided into four categories:
The first type is "mature knot": it refers to the condensate mainly composed of oil left by the roots and trunks of trees falling to the ground or sinking into the soil, wind blowing and rain pouring, slowly decomposing and contracting over the years.
The second type is "birth knot": the fragrant knot formed by trees when they are alive. After deep wounds are caused by external forces, such as cutting with a knife and axe, and gnawing by snakes and insects, aloe trees will exude resin for self-protection, so as to form incense near the wounds.
The third category is "falling off": the fragrance produced after the branches decayed.
The fourth category is "insect leakage": it is the fragrance formed due to the decay of trees by tree worms and bacteria.
About Qinan
Chess is not a single tree species, but aloes tree before death, the body was attacked by bees, ants, and other insects to build nests. It used to absorb honey from bees and ants for a long time, and greed each other with the oil secreted by the disease. When the incense tree died, it was recrystallized in the soil for hundreds of years or thousands of years. Previous investigations have found that a large number of ants are often found in the mature head of Qinan.
The texture of Qinan is sticky and soft, and its tongue is numb, but it will not make people feel uncomfortable. The fragrance is sweet, cool and fragrant, which is the best in the deep fragrance, but the fragrant materials are mostly small materials.
