Kalimantan Agarwood Superior Incense Sticks

Agarwood (also known as aloeswood, 'Chen-Xiang' 沉香 in Chinese or 'Oud' in the Middle East) is a traditional incense ingredient which has been used in religious and cultural ceremonies for millennia. Often called the "Wood of God", it is one of the most expensive woods in the world.

These ultra-slim incense sticks are made from superior grade Kalimantan Agarwood. When burned, the aromatic scent is warm and balanced, and creates a calming ambience that counters stress, aids relaxation, and promotes mental alertness. It also aids with a good night's sleep and can even help children improve their focus and study better.

Agarwood has many medicinal purposes including treating 'wind' (rlung) disorders in the Tibetan medical tradition. It is highly suitable as a meditational aid.

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.

These incense sticks are 100% natural with no added perfumes or fragrances. They contain no narcotic or habit-forming ingredients and are completely safe for inhalation. For the best experience, burn in a wooden incense burner.
