This Himalayan cedar incense is made from the dried parts of Cedrus deodara. Its clean, resinous, woody smoke recalls cool mountain air and brings a calm, grounded quality to a room.
About Himalayan cedar
The deodar cedar is the great, venerable tree of the Himalayas, held sacred by the region's cultures. Its scent resembles red cedar but with a cooler, fresher edge.
Tradition and atmosphere
Tradition holds that cedar smoke clears a space and strengthens a sense of grounding and stability. Many light it to retune a room, for meditation, or to set the tone for a calm evening.
How to use it
Place a pinch on glowing charcoal in a heatproof dish, or on a sieve burner where it smoulders more slowly. It blends well with other dried herbs and resins.
Good to know
A natural plant-and-wood product, so colour and piece size vary. Ensure good ventilation while burning.
