Agar oil
Agar oil or oodh, distilled from agar wood (Aquilaria malaccensis). Highly prized for its fragrance.
Agar oil is the product of a natural chain of events. It is extracted from various species of Aquilaria infiltrated?by a specific species of fungi. The tree’s self-defense mechanism, or its “damage sap” changes the chemical composition of the wood, making it heavier and darker in color. To extract the essential oil, the wood needs to go through the steam distillation process.

Medicines for Alzheimer’s disease have one main function: they slow the breakdown of?acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is broken down by Acetylcholinesterase?(AChE). Agar oil contains AChE inhibitors, which means it may help slow down the effects of Alzheimer’s. If diagnosed, it is best to talk to your doctor about using Agar oil in your treatments.
Anise oil
Anise oil, from the Pimpinella anisum, rich odor of licorice
Anise is an herb. The seed and oil are used to make medicine. Less commonly, the root and leaf are used to make medicine as well. Do not confuse anise with other herbs called star anise or fennel. These are sometimes called anise.
Anise is used for upset stomach, intestinal gas, runny nose, and as an expectorant to increase productive cough. It is also used to increase urination and to stimulate the appetite. Women use anise to increase milk flow when nursing, start menstruation, treat menstrual discomfort or pain, ease childbirth, and increase sex drive. Men use anise to treat symptoms of "male menopause." Other uses include treatment of seizures, nicotine dependence, trouble sleeping (insomnia), asthma, diabetes, and constipation.
