Bhutanese, Nepal & Tibetan Incense
Tibetan incense is widely used for meditation, relaxation, and cleansing one's environment. It delivers an aroma which can help to soothe and calm a restless mind. Our Tibetan incense is made up of pure herbs, spices, flowers, and minerals. In Tibetan medicine, incense is regarded as a way of treatment for various ailments. This information can be found in Tibetan medical books which originated from the four Tantras (Root Tantra, Tantra of Enlightenment, Tantra of Instructions, Concluding Tantra) which is also known as rGyud bzhi in Tibetan. It is the central work upon which contemporary Tibetan medicine is based. Tibetan medical theory states that everything in the universe is made up of the 5 proto-elements: Sa (Earth), Chu (Water), Me (Fire), rLung (Wind or Air), and Nam-mkha (Space). But only four play a role in the classification of our illnesses, except Nam-mkha. Each element contains eight active forces and 17 qualities.
