Holy basil, known in India as tulsi, is one of the most revered plants of Ayurveda. This incense is made from its dried leaves and plant matter; its fresh, spicy-peppery smoke gives a room a light, uplifting feel.
About tulsi
Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) is a sacred plant in India, often grown near homes and temples. The Ayurvedic tradition regards it as a plant of purity and protection.
Tradition and atmosphere
Tradition holds that tulsi smoke cleanses and freshens a space and supports a mindful, alert presence. Many light it for a morning ritual, for meditation, or simply to refresh a home.
How to use it
Place a pinch on glowing charcoal in a heatproof dish, or on a sieve burner. Pleasant on its own, it also builds a deeper scent when combined with sandalwood or resins.
Good to know
A natural plant product, so colour and piece size vary. Ensure adequate ventilation while burning.
