A Hundred Years Of Oudh Trade
A religious saying dating back to four centuries ago says, “Treat with Indian Oudh, for it has healing for seven diseases; it is to be sniffed by sufferers of throat problems and to be put into one side of the mouth by sufferers of pleurisy”.The world’s rarest Agar Oudh which are extracted from ancient Agar Oudh trees that are hundreds of years old, are found in the forests of the far east, most especially in India. India’s lush forests are truly a natural habitat for the world’s rarest plants such as the Agar Oudh. From India, Agar Oudh was introduced to the Gulf in the 20th century when cultural trade was flourishing between these regions. Fishermen and traders traded the Agar Oudh with pearls, until it became woven into the very fabric of the Gulf’s way of life.
