Tibetan Incense Sticks

Tibetan Incense Sticks are traditional aromatic offerings deeply rooted in Tibetan culture and spirituality. Handcrafted using ancient recipes passed down through generations, these incense sticks are made from natural herbs, woods, and spices often sourced from the Himalayan region. Unlike other types of incense, Tibetan incense sticks are typically free from synthetic chemicals and do not contain a central wooden core, resulting in a purer burn.

Instructions

Light the tip of the incense stick. Gently extinguish the flame by blowing or fanning. Place it in an appropriate incense burner. Your incense should glow red and give a delicate wisp of pale fragrant smoke indicating that it is slowly burning. Keep away from children and animals. Never leave burning incense unattended. Do not inhale smoke directly and ventilate the room after use.
