Includes 20 x Indian Sandalwood Incense Sticks by Heartwood 

Elevate your mind to divine heights with our pure Indian sandalwood incense.

Heartwood Incense is beyond compare. Made only from the Heartwood of Indian sandalwood, bound together with Namu bark, it's no wonder that our pure botanical incense is Heartwood's most popular product.

Brimming with botanical sesquiterpenes santalol-alpha and santalol-beta, these natural actives are uniquely abundant in Indian sandalwood. When you inhale the scent of pure Indian sandalwood, these sesquiterpenes enter the blood stream and have the ability to calm the mind to enhace clarity and induce bliss.

A cult fragrance figure, Indian sandalwood is beautifully complex with a spicy yet sweet sensuality that is at once uplifting + grounding. This distinctive aroma is a slow-burn, with sandalwood’s gradual evaporation rate making it the ultimate home fragrance for long-lingering allure.

How to identify high quality incense:

• Look for a solid stick of pure rolled plant material. Avoid incense that is rolled onto a bamboo core, which is usually coated with an un-aromatic filler and then 'dipped' in perfume.
• Ask for the ingredient list. The best incense is composed of pure wood and herbs. Whereas most incense on the market is dipped in synthetic fragrance and will not deliver the therapeutic benefits it's designed for.
• Price. If someone is pedaling sandalwood or other incense cheaply it’s probably too good to be true and you are buying a counterfeit product.
• White smoke. Pure incense burns with a whiter smoke or an elegant 'cloud' as the ancients used to call it.

DIRECTIONS

Place incense securely in incense holder. Light the end of an incense stick using a lighter or a match.

Allow the end of the stick burn for 3 seconds or so, before gently blowing out the flame.

When you blow out the flame, the end of the stick should be glowing red and smoking.

WARNING: Do not leave incense burning unattended, or in the presence of children.
