Incense has been part of human history since the Bronze Age of mankind. As the Silk Road developed, more aromatics for burning travelled across the globe. Most incense was indirect, requiring a separate source of burning like a charcoal briquette. As time modernized the practice, we now have direct burning sticks. Our incense sticks are carbon neutral, made in Mysore, India, and are cruelty free. Each pack contains five sticks that are imbued with our essential oil blends over a three day process. Please burn in proper holder. Each stick will burn 40-60 minutes.
