Two woods, one stick: Palo Santo, tied to South American ceremonial smoke, and sandalwood, a cornerstone of Indian perfumery. This blend comes from HEM, the Bengaluru-founded incense house behind one of the widest aroma ranges in the craft. Together the two woods read warm and resinous rather than floral \u2014 the kind of smoke that lingers in a room a while after the stick has burned out. Light one for a meditation sit, a yoga session, a quiet moment before the day starts, or simply to scent the house with something more than a candle. In India, agarbatti like this is traditionally lit before a devotional image or at a home shrine as part of puja (p\u016bj\u0101, Hindu worship); plenty of buyers elsewhere light it for their own spiritual practice, whatever that looks like, or just for the aroma \u2014 both are equally valid reasons to strike a match. Hexagonal box, 20 sticks total. Incense accompanies ritual, meditation, and rest; it is not a substitute for medical or psychological care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
