Bhutanese Incense – Traditional Himalayan Incense Sticks ⁽¹²⁾

Bhutanese incense is among the rarest and most authentic incense of the Himalayas — handcrafted following Buddhist recipes passed down through generations, using medicinal plants, resin incense and aromatic woods grown and harvested in the Kingdom of Bhutan.

Bhutanese incense for meditation, purification and spiritual rituals

Close in spirit to Tibetan and Nepali incense, Bhutanese incense remains little known on the European market — each reference is dedicated to a deity or practice of Bhutanese Buddhism:

Compassion and protection incense — Chenrezig, Kurukulle and Tseringma: blends dedicated to the great protective deities of Bhutanese Buddhism.
Wisdom and prosperity incense — Manjushree, Riwo Sangchoe, Gaden-Chenpo and Dewa-Chen: for mental clarity, abundance and inner harmony.
Sandalwood and universal peace — Pure White Sandalwood, Golden Buddha and World Peace Incense: timeless blends for meditation, stillness and the wellbeing of all beings.
Druk Healing Incense — Druk is the name of the dragon on Bhutan's flag and a symbol of the country. This incense brings together healing plants and resin incense from the Himalayas.

How to use Bhutanese incense sticks

Hold a flame briefly to the tip of the stick, then gently blow it out after a few seconds — the incense will smoulder steadily from there. Place in a stable holder made of ceramic, stone or metal to catch the ash. Burning time varies by blend, typically between 30 and 60 minutes.
