HEM Copal Lavender Incense Sticks

Light these to bring the fresh herbal fragrance of lavender to your home or sacred space.

Copal is a natural tree resin that is between two states—it is neither a hardened resin nor sap. Copal resin comes from trees in the Buresa family, which is considered a medicinal tree to the Mayas in southern Mexico. These medicinal trees are traditionally used for clearing the body of diseases and also to keep mosquitos away.

Since ancient times, Copal incense has been considered sacred to the people of Mexico, as well as South and Central America. It goes as far back to the Mayan and Aztec cultures. Mass amounts of copal resin were burned atop the Aztec and Mayan pyramids as offerings to the gods and deities. In the Mayan ruins, copal was discovered in the burial grounds, proving its spiritual significance.L

Lavender from the Latin “lavare” meaning to wash, has been used as a purifying and soothing fragrance since Roman times.

These richly scented incense sticks are handcrafted using a blend of natural ingredients and fragrant traditional oils to enliven your surroundings.

Do not leave incense, candles and/or charcoal disks burning unattended.
