Laha and Dar from Nepal


Laha and Dar
are very similar to Makko and can be used in the same fashion: the making of incense sticks and cones or the burning of 'incense trails'.

Laha and Dar are both binders used in the making of traditional Nepali and Tibetan incense. Like Makko, it is almost odorless, and burns just as easily.

Our Laha and Dar is less than 1/3 of the cost of Makko making it a very economical alternative to using Makko. For 'die-hard' Makko users, a mixture of Laha or Dar and Makko can stretch the Makko, actually making it less expensive.

Just like Makko, Laha and Dar have water soluble adhesive properties (for use in making incense sticks and cones), an almost odorless characteristic that seems to be entirely lost when mixed and burned with other ingredients, and the ability to burn smoothly and evenly.

Our Laha and Dar is 'baby powder' fine; perfect for blending into your favorite incense recipe.

Essence of the Ages® is the only supplier in the US of these precious ingredients from Nepal!

Hi! Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know the very first time I used the dar (for making incense) it came out perfect! Same with the laha! I only made simple things using allspice as the main scent for one, and cinnamon for the second. I used a rose hydrosol for the fluidbase. It coned up very well, stood straight for the dry and burns effortlessly! The scent was smooth and sweet. It's so nice not to use charcoal or potassium nitrate! Thanks again for providing such wonderful products!

Dar

DAR can be mixed with any kind of Laha in any
proportion. In Nepal the people use Dar more to make cones, called pyramids. Dar is dryer than Laha and this means it is not as flexible, therefore the reason it is better for cones. Dar burns at a low temperature, which makes it perfect for burning loose incense or for use in 'incense trails'.
