Nepalese Incense
In Nepal, incense is traditionally burned for a variety of reasons: as an offering to the gods, for healing, to ward off the “evil eye” or harmful spells, to appease demons or as a prayer. Nepali shamans use large amounts of incense in their rituals to completely fill the room with smoke. In this way, the smoke becomes a means of transport to unseen worlds.
The Nepalese incenses consist of natural plant substances that are picked by Himalayan shamans for ceremonial purposes – in harmony with nature and respecting the phases of the moon. The selection of these incense substances is based on 30 years of research by ethnopharmacologist and author Dr. Christian Rätsch together with the world’s shamans.
