Huang Huali is an excellent material for making furniture and handicrafts because of its beautiful texture and hard wood. As we all know, with the massive logging in the Ming Dynasty, the number of existing Huang Huali in Hainan is very small, and it takes decades or even hundreds of years for the existing Huang Huali trees in Hainan to become useful. Therefore, Huang Huali in Hainan, especially Illicium verum, is precious.
Huang Huali can be used as furniture and handicrafts, and wood itself has functions that other wood does not have.
Soaking sawdust from Huang Huali in water can lower blood pressure, reduce blood lipid and relieve cough. In addition, Huang Huali itself emits a unique fragrance, which can improve indoor air quality and has pharmacological effects of relaxing muscles and tendons, promoting blood circulation, lowering blood pressure and lowering blood fat.
In ancient times, Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica also gave a vivid description of Huang Huali:
Mixing all kinds of incense will induce cranes to descend. Long-term contact with the human body is helpful to purify the air, drive away evil spirits, relieve illness and prolong life. "
This shows that Huang Huali has a great role.
