Incense
from Tibet and Nepal
The
incense from Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan are among the most natural
incense in the world. These incenses are made with up to 100 natural
ingredients; the plants, flowers, grass, leaves, woods, spices, aromatic
herbs and resins from the beautiful regions of the Himalayas. Ingredients
can be as 'common' as cinnamon,
clove,
and cardamom, to exotics such as kusum flower, ashvagandha, or sahi
jeera. Pure
and natural, many Tibetan/Nepali incenses are actually made to inhale
for their 'medicinal' benefits, the recipes prepared using strict
vedic formulas which are based on ancient medical tantra texts
that have remained unchanged for centuries. Some recipes are literally
from the time of Buddha.
Incense
from these regions can come in many different forms: dhoop sticks,
powders, or rope. The scents can range from sweet to earthy,
spicy to hot. But all are wonderful for relaxation, meditation, purifying,
offerings or just scenting one's surroundings.
