Agar – अगर – Eaglewood – Aquilaria agallocha Roxb
Agar Harb BENEFITS
- Diabetes. Early research shows that taking agar gel by mouth daily while following a traditional Japanese diet for 12 weeks doesn’t improve pre-meal blood sugar levels or insulin resistance in obese people with type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance.
- Yellowing of the skin in infants (neonatal jaundice). While research is mixed, most early research shows that giving agar by mouth for 5 days doesn’t reduce bilirubin levels in infants with newborn jaundice. But when given by mouth along with light therapy, agar might increase the bilirubin-lowering effects of light therapy. It might also reduce the length of time that light therapy is needed.
- Obesity. Early research shows that taking agar gel by mouth daily while following a traditional Japanese diet for 12 weeks reduces body weight by a small amount in obese people with type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance.
- Constipation.
- Other conditions.
More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of agar for these uses.
Side Effects

Immediate medical attention is necessary if chest pain, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing or breathing occurs after taking agar.
