These are hand rolled incense sticks that contain no toxic or artificial materials. Delicate scents from fragrant woods, flowers, herbs, spices, resins, barks and premium quality essential oils. The Finest Natural Ingredients Auroshikha's quality is based, first and foremost, on the selection of the finest natural ingredients to create the finest incense anywhere in the world. The master French Perfumer who has been in charge of quality control for more than 25 years carefully sources these ingredients. Whether using Mysore Sandalwood, or Pine from the Himalayas, Lavender from France of the finest Patchouli from Singapore, he has worked hard to locate the best sources from the best locations around the world to create an extraordinary fragrance in each case. All ingredients also meet the stringent guidelines established by the International Fragrance Association, Geneva, Switzerland. Even items such as the bamboo sticks on which the incense is rolled are subjected to the careful scrutiny of the Auroshikha quality control team. Auroshikha uses fragrant woods, barks, herbs, and essential oils to create the most extraordinary range of ''true to nature'' fragrances you will find anywhere in the world. Hand rolled in small batches for quality control Auroshikha incense is made using a natural bamboo stick onto which a paste made of jeegat (a natural bark), Sandalwood powder and charcoal is then hand-rolled. The fragrances, after being carefully blended to achieve just the right note, are then either mixed into the paste for the masala fragrances, or are impregnated into the paste through a hand-dipping process. Auroshikha uses no glue in its incense paste, and no cow dung, making it different in this regard than many incense varieties from around the world. The real secret to achieving the consistent quality that has made Auroshikha incense world famous is the careful blending of the fragrances personally carried out and overseen constantly by the master French perfumer, who brings his long experience and background and combines it with the ultimate ''art'' of quality fragrance-crafting. Other than Auroshikha, very few in the world have actually developed to this level of perfection. Guaranteed Non-Toxic The use of natural fragrances and the avoidance of using glue or cow dung have helped Auroshikha create non-toxic fragrances suitable for use as incense sticks in enclosed spaces. Auroshikha has had its products tested by an independent testing laboratory in India, and another in Europe, to ensure that they do not contain any heavy metals and are certified non-toxic. No other incense manufacturer we know of goes to this length to ensure the safety of its product. Auroshikha is proud to stand behind its products as being guaranteed non-toxic based on these test results. Village Cottage Industry The incense sticks are hand-rolled in the traditional manner and then packaged by Indian villagers, who have developed a real cottage industry in Sout

Smudge Sticks or Smudge Bundles are all-natural ceremonial incense traditionally burned in Native American rituals such as sweat lodges. Increasingly, doctors, therapists, and body workers are discovering the beneficial aspects of these herbs. Sweetcense Smudge is Desert Sage, Cedar & Sweetgrass. Not only good for keeping pesky flying insects away certain plant smokes (smudges) could preserve food and hides. Some smudges could also impart protection from unseen spirits and thoughts. To apply the protective cleansing power of a smudge a leaf or resin was heated to make smoke that was brushed over the person or object often with a feather fan. Some plant smokes had specific healing properties while others more generic powers. The smudge smoke is made either by spreading dry herbs on hot coals or hot rocks or igniting dry herbs in a clay bowl or shell. Desert sagebrush covers much of the high plateau of the western states and is expanding its range. Sagebrush bark has provided fiber for footwear and clothing to the Fremont culture. Sagebrush grows a protective cover for rabbits and small game, improving their habitat. With its many variations and names, Big Sage Brush, Mountain Ball Sage (Artemesia frigida), Sweet Sage (Artemesia dracunculoderes), Black Sage (Artemesia nova) as well as all its common tribal names, sage is a respected plant family. Desert sage grows on the high desert of the West. It is traditionally used in ceremonies and included in medicine pouches and bundles. Sage is burned in smudging ceremonies to drive out bad spirits, feelings or influences. The leaves are valued for their aromatic properties and are used as a natural moth repellent. Sage can be used in numerous ways. Native Americans of the Plains Nations cover the floor of their sweat lodges with sage. They will also breathe through a small bundle of sage and at times rub the bundle on their bodies while in the sweat lodge. Some tribes commonly wrapped their pipes in sage before they bundled them up. They believed that objects wrapped in sage were purified. Sage wreaths are still placed around Sundancer’s heads, wrists and ankles during the ceremony. ''Sage makes the bad spirits sick. They go away from it when it is burned. It does not make the good spirits sick. They will not leave when it is smoked. Sweet grass is pleasant to all the spirits. Good spirits like it. Bad spirits like it. All like it. The smoke of sweet grass is pleasant to the good spirits. They come to the smoke. They are pleased with one who makes this smoke. They will listen to what such a one asks. But the bad spirits come also to enjoy the smoke. So, sage must be burned to make them sick. Then, sweet grass to bring good spirits.'' Traditional stories and myths tell of the power of sage in that wherever sage is present negative forces cannot enter. In the Inipi ceremony, a sprig of sage is worn behind the right ear to protect the participant and placate the little peo
