Namaste India Natural Masala Incense Sticks - Arruda

Namaste India Arruda Incense Sticks carry a dark, musky, earthy masala fragrance. Approximately 30 to 45 minutes per stick.

Arruda is rue. Arruda is the Portuguese name for rue, a bitter Mediterranean herb with a long history in Iberian and Brazilian folk practice.

Dark and musky, not bright. One of the few genuinely dark fragrances in the range, with a rich musky finish rather than a floral or a resin lift.

Thirty to forty-five minutes. Approximately 30 to 45 minutes per stick.

Folk use, reported as such. Arruda's protective associations belong to folk practice. Nothing is claimed as an effect of burning a stick.

Set out a holder first. No holder comes in the pack, so have a fire-safe incense holder ready on a stable, heat-resistant surface before you light anything.

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

Blow the flame out gently. Blow or fan the flame out once the tip glows, so the stick settles into a slow, even smolder rather than an open burn.

Ventilate and enjoy. Set the stick in the holder, burn in a well-ventilated room away from flammable objects, children, and pets, and let the ash and holder cool fully before clearing them.

A natural masala incense stick carrying a dark, musky, earthy arruda blend. A full ingredient breakdown, ratio, or purity specification is not published by the supplier. If you have known fragrance or plant-based allergies, consider a test burn first.

Keep the sticks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity, resealed in their pack between uses. Moisture and heat are what dull a masala blend's natural oils and resins first, and a masala stick has more of both in its body than a dipped stick does, so storage matters more here. Stored this way the sticks generally hold their aroma 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.

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.

Caution: Always burn incense sticks in a fire-safe holder, on a stable, non-flammable surface. Never leave burning incense unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
