All incense sticks are made from natural ingredients, almost all of which are collected in Latvia. One of the main components of the incense sticks is juniper. Combined with other plants, it produces a variety of fragrances, which are invigorating and healing, and are not similar to the incenses imported from the East. Each one of the plants burns out releasing its energy that acts on our senses and the surrounding space, creating its beneficial effects. In meditation and rituals, these plants help to concentrate psychic energy.
The length of the sticks is about 5 cm, designed to fill a space with the aroma of about 60 – 90m2 while not creating too strong of a scent. The burning duration of one stick is about 15-20 minutes. The five sticks are packed in a nature-friendly wooden twig pack sealed with a bee wax cap. Sticks are also available in other package types, see the section “How to buy” for more.
