Hainan Rosewood Pieces

Hainan Rosewood Pieces (Dalbergia odorifera) are the dried heartwood fragments of a highly prized tree traditionally used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) under the name Jiàng Xiāng (降香). This resin-rich wood is valued for its ability to invigorate blood, move qi, stop pain, and stop bleeding, making it especially important for conditions involving blood stasis, chest or abdominal pain, and traumatic injury. Its nature is considered acrid and warm, with a penetrating, aromatic quality that promotes circulation and unblocks stagnation.

In TCM, Jiang Xiang enters the Heart, Liver, and Spleen channels, where it helps activate blood, regulate qi, relieve pain, and stop bleeding caused by stasis. It is traditionally used for chest pain, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, traumatic injury, bruising, swelling, and internal bleeding with stasis, as well as for palpitations and discomfort related to blood obstruction. Its dual ability to both move blood and stop bleeding makes it a uniquely balanced herb in trauma and cardiovascular-related patterns.

Hainan Rosewood is also historically valued for its calming, grounding aroma, and has been used in incense, powders, and decoctions to support emotional stability and circulation of constrained qi. In classical practice, it is often paired with other blood-invigorating herbs to enhance recovery and reduce pain without causing excessive dispersal.

Modern research shows that Dalbergia odorifera contains volatile oils, flavonoids, sesquiterpenes, and anti-inflammatory compounds with documented analgesic, antithrombotic, circulation-enhancing, and cardioprotective effects. These constituents support its traditional role in pain relief, blood movement, and vascular health.

Each batch of Hainan Rosewood Pieces (Dalbergia odorifera) is carefully sourced and cut to preserve its dense reddish-brown heartwood, and potent medicinal profile. When decocted, it produces a warm, aromatic infusion traditionally used to invigorate blood, move qi, relieve pain, stop bleeding from stasis, and support healthy circulation.
