Ayurvedic Incense is made from hand-rolling each stick from
a fragrant dough made of pure resins, herbs and essences which have been used
for thousands of years in the practice of Ayurveda in India.
There are 8 authentic Ayurvedic fragrances outlined below:
Costen - Well Being is made from the root of the Costus tree,
a valued herb in Ayurvedic preparations, and is formulated with honey. The smoke
has an overall soothing effect on the nerves and enhances the sense of well-being
in the body.
Kasturi - Aspiration comes from the fruit of the manjal tree
in India and has musk-like fragrance. The smoke is traditionally used as therapy
for depression and to keep aspiration in the mind.
Loban - Sanctity is a fragrant resin from a type of pine
tree. Crystals of Loban are burnt in temples all over India for the holy, sanctified
atmosphere the smoke creates.
Mattipal - Peace comes from the fragrant sap of the Peepal
tree, known as the "Bodhi" Tree because the Buddha achieved realization
while seated in meditation beneath it. The fragrant smoke creates a soothing
and deeply peaceful atmosphere.
Resin - Concentration comes from the fragrant sap of an Indian
tree whose resinous crystals, according to Ayurvedic practice, are burnt to
increase the power of concentration, to create a spiritual atmosphere, and repel
bad spirits.
Sambrani - Serenity also known as Yellow Resin, comes from
the fragrant sap of the Sal Tree and has been used in spiritual ceremonies since
ancient times. Its smoke creates a soothing atmosphere of calm serenity.
Sandalwood - Purity has been treasured since antiquity for
its exquisite fragrance and purifying properties. In Ayurveda, it is used to
cool the nervous system, ease anxiety, and has the potent attribute of purifying
the vital being (life-force) and atmosphere.
Triphala - Rejuvenation, translated as "3 fruits"
in Sanskrit, Triphala is a well-known Ayurvedic rejuvenative compound prized
for its harmonizing effect on the 3 doshas. Of the 3 ingredients: Haritaki is
rejuvenative for Vats dosha, Amalaki for Pitta dosha and Bibitaki for kapha
