Tibetan and Nepalese incense is made exclusively from herbs, plants, resins, and wood (sandalwood plays a large role).
These 100% natural ingredients are harvested on the slopes of the Himalayas where Tibetan refugee communities live. After being reduced to powder, they are agglomerated with only water. The resulting paste is then rolled by hand to form sticks that will be cut and then dried in the sun. No chemical substitute of any kind is used in their composition.
These are products of rare purity developed according to a secret recipe of wise men and recognized doctors from different Tibetan spiritual schools. Depending on the variety, Tibetan incense contains between 25 and 130 ingredients, sometimes rare and precious! Some are used in religion for meditation and ritual offerings as well as ceremonies. Others in medicine for their soothing and relaxing virtues capable of harmonizing and relieving tensions and energy imbalances.
