Product Details

Himalayan Herbal Incense Sticks are handmade in Kathmandu, Nepal, following a traditional Tibetan incense-making method, using herbs the supplier describes as gathered from the high altitudes of Tibet and the plains of Nepal - a genuinely different production background from the Indian masala and dhoop sticks that make up most of our range.

The named ingredients are a natural binding glue called lac, sandalwood, red sandalwood, artemisia, and a blend of spices including cloves and nutmeg. One ingredient is worth flagging honestly: the supplier's list also includes "ambergris," and we can't tell from what's provided whether that means genuine whale-derived ambergris - a rare and valuable substance in traditional perfumery - or a synthetic or plant-based amber-style note, which is common practice in incense-making today. We're reporting the label as written rather than assuming either way.

Artemisia is a real botanical genus that includes mugwort and wormwood, long burned in various Asian incense traditions for its bitter, herbal character - a distinctly different note from a sweet floral or resinous stick, worth knowing if you're expecting something closer to sandalwood or rose.

At 9 inches per stick, these run noticeably longer than a standard masala stick, and 40 sticks per package is a substantial quantity for someone who already knows they'll burn incense regularly. More single-scent sticks at different lengths sit in our Incense Sticks collection.

Lac, the natural glue named in the ingredient list, is itself a resin secreted by the lac insect and has been used as a binder in incense-making and other crafts across South Asia for a very long time - a real, verifiable material, distinct from a synthetic adhesive.

Light the tip, let the flame settle for a few seconds, then gently blow it out, and place the stick in a heat-safe holder in a well-ventilated room. Browse the wider incense range, including other handmade and hand-rolled styles, in our Incense collection.

How to Use Himalayan Herbal Incense Sticks

Light the tip. Hold a flame to the tip of the stick for a few seconds until it catches and glows.

Fan out the flame. Gently fan or blow out the flame so the stick settles into a slow, even smolder.

Place in a holder. Set the stick in a stable, fire-safe holder that will catch the ash as it falls.

Ventilate and enjoy. Burn in a well-ventilated room and allow roughly 30-45 minutes for the stick to finish.

Main Ingredients

Natural binding glue (lac), sandalwood, red sandalwood, artemisia, and a blend of spices including cloves and nutmeg. The supplier's ingredient list also names "ambergris"; we can't confirm from the information provided whether this means genuine whale-derived ambergris or a synthetic or plant-based amber-style note commonly used in incense-making, so we're naming it exactly as listed rather than guessing which it is.

Shelf Life & Storage

Store sticks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity, ideally resealed in their original pack between uses, since moisture and heat are what dull a masala blend's fragrance first. Kept this way, hand-rolled incense sticks generally hold their scent well for 12-24 months, though this is general guidance rather than a supplier-stated date, as no expiration date is printed on the packaging.

Safety Instructions

Never leave burning incense unattended. Always place lit sticks in a heat-resistant holder on a stable, non-flammable surface, well away from curtains, papers, and anything else that could catch, and keep them out of reach of children and pets. Burn in a well-ventilated room, and let the ash and holder cool fully before handling or discarding them.
