Sadaj - malobatr

Essence.
In its strength, sadaj is close to sumbul, but it is softer. It is a plant with leaves and branches, similar to basil, and has flowers that are easily crushed. It grows in India in stagnant waters and marshy lands and floats on the surface of the water, like a plant called "water lentil", without being associated with a root. Sometimes it is tied in place with thread and dried.

People sometimes think that these are the leaves of Indian spikenard, since sadaj is similar in strength to it. Its oil has the properties of ferula stinking oil and saffron oil, but sadaj oil is stronger.

The best sadaj is fresh, whitish, not crumbly, with a pungent odor like spikenard, not moldy, not salty or doughy.

Hot, dry in the second degree.
