Traditional Incense

Traditional Incense

Traditional incense is all handmade in Nepal and is hand rolled. Unlike your other types of incense,  traditional Tibeten incense is made with no inner stick. The natural materials are rolled tight so that there is no need for the bamboo.
The lack of inner stick means that they are better for the environment as there is no need for the wood and, it also means that the scent is not diluted.

Ingredients

There are so many different natural materials that can be used when making incense. Tibetan incense often uses healing herbs from the foot of the Himalayan mountain ranges along with precious stone depending on their intended use. To bind the ingredients together natural oils, wood resins and even honey are used.
