Raw Incense Ingredients Directly Imported from Nepal!

In Tibetan and Nepali medicine there are hundreds of leaves, roots, stems, bark and other plant parts used for healing and general health. It is believed that these plants parts not only heal in the physical sense when ingested, but the smoke from the burned plants have the same healing effects. The smoke is inhaled through the burning of the plants, most often in the form of incense. Almost every package of Tibetan, Nepali, or Bhutanese incense will tout it's healing properties based on it's various ingredients. These healing beliefs have existed for hundreds of years and ayurvedic medicine continues today to be a source of health for millions of people all over the world.

Essence of the Ages®, in conjunction with The Direct Help Foundation of Nepal, is pleased to bring you the finest healing incense ingredients available. All ingredients are hand selected for their quality and freshness. These ingredients can be mixed together to form loose incense, sticks, cones, or simply burned on their own. Try the Himalayan Cedar or Himalayan Juniper, our two most popular raw incense ingredients. They are fabulous burned alone or mixed with other incense ingredients.

Look for upcoming incense recipes using our ingredients from Nepal!

Please note: We are offering these ingredients for the making of incense only. We are not selling them as food grade commodities, or medicine, and are making no claims as such.

Hi!
I've been very impressed with you folks! As someone who has only recently begun to make his own incense I have ordered raw materials form all over the country. Your Laha is great (!) as well as the other materials. I also appreciate the traditions that you are a part of and it feels good to learn about the history. Thank you for helping me in this journey of understanding. -Larry O. Chicago, IL


Laha and Dar:
Laha and Dar can be used just like Makko but for a 1/3 of the cost of Makko. For 'die-hard' Makko users, a mix 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 or using it to burn ingredients, as in an 'incense trail'.

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.
