Indian Sandalwood Incense Powder

Since ancient times, aromatic sandalwood has been one of the preferred ingredients within the religious and spiritual traditions of India. Prized for its lasting fragrance that improves with age, the scent of sandalwood is often described as sweet, warm, rich and woody.

This powder incense is made from premium grade Indian Sandalwood (santalum album), responsibly sourced from sandalwood groves in southern India. When burned, this aromatic incense powder creates a calm, ethereal ambience that promotes awareness, relieves nervous tension and anxiety, and helps with depression.

It is excellent for cleansing and purifying the environment of unwanted energies and to aid relaxation and stress relief. It is also particularly used during spiritual ceremonies and meditation sessions to create a peaceful and calm atmosphere.

Buddhists also offer incense to purify what has been offered on the altar and to create the causes to have morality, ethics and hold one's vows well - virtues of the Bodhisattva spirit of selfless altruism to benefit others. Hence it is strongly encouraged to offer the best incense (and by extension, the best offerings) that one can afford.

This incense powder is 100% natural with no added perfumes or fragrances. It contains no narcotic or habit-forming ingredients and is completely safe for inhalation. For the best experience, burn in an electric incense burner.
