Nepali Juniper Rope hand rolled incense is blended from natural herbs. Rolled by hand in lokta paper. Use for meditation in your home, stupa or temple. Each bundle contains approximately 22-25 - twisted ropes. The scent is described as clear, refreshing, and slightly woody. You can burn rope incense by lying it flat on a bed of sand or ash, which allows the entire rope to burn safely and completely or use a rope incense burner. Handcrafted in Nepal.
Nepali Rope Incense belongs to the long tradition of family cottage industries in the Himalayas. Almost all young children learn to twist ropes from their grandparents and eventually teach their own children or grandchildren. The ropes are produced in large quantities by farmers and other villagers during the off season. High quality aromatic medicinal herbs are gathered and dried. Herbs used have fumigation qualities and purify the atmosphere when burned. Lokta paper made from the Daphne bush is used to wrap the herbs. The herbal blend is placed in the paper and given an artistic twist to create the rope like strands.
