" There are currently few reports on the benefits of Aquilaria leaves to humans. The leaves of A. sinensis are applied in traditional medicine for treatment of trauma-related illnesses such as fractures and bruises (Zhou et al., 2008). The leaves of A. crassna are useful as a supplement to combat various health conditions such as high blood pressure, constipation, headache and diabetes (Pranakhon et al., 2011), and in treating digestive ailments and as a mild sedative (Kakino et al., 2010). In recent years, the use of Aquilaria leaves in food products has been diversified and sold in the forms of tea in sachets, or mixed with coffee, biscuits, and ice-creams. It has also been used as essence in ointments. Agarwood tea, also known as ‘teh gaharu’ or ‘teh karas’ in the Malay language, is usually produced from the young shoots of Aquilaria trees. Similar to other common teas, agarwood tea is accepted as a new herbal drink and is believed to have health benefits to humans." (Zafirah, Shiou, Lee, Mohamed 2017)
