Tibetan Incense: Breath of the Himalayas

Tibetan Incense: Breath of the Himalayas

Incense is made only from natural ingredients

In Tibet, incense was used for centuries in a wide range – for purifying temples and homes, they were used to treat various diseases and even in meditation.

It is quite rare to detect sweetish notes in Tibetan incense; they are very often found only in Indian ones. In Tibet, aromatherapy was never used solely for the pleasure of pleasant smells. The very recipe for making Tibetan incense was based on deep and ancient mystical knowledge, the interactions of the subtle and manifest worlds.

In the cold season, the energy of warmth and joy is often lacking; it is contained only in bitter aromas. Looking at this, one can confidently say that it is ideal for our climate, namely in winter it is sorely lacking. Precisely because they have no bamboo base, the burning incense gradually changes its scent, with fresh new aromas being added to the original scent.

Tibetan formulas have a huge composition of components (sometimes up to 108), but they never contain any toxic, allergenic, or narcotic substances. Unique aromas, extraordinary extrasensory actions are inherent in each variety of Tibetan incense. Since they are composed of the rarest healing minerals, herbs and roots, these sticks have several uses – they are used not only for burning, they can be used to cauterize acupuncture points.

And if you crush a stick, adding cream or oil, you couldn't think of a better massage remedy. The massage oil obtained in this way is used to relieve pain, fatigue and for many other beneficial properties.
