Incense Stick - Lord Shiva - 20ct

Lord Shiva Incense Sticks by HEM: a box of 20 hand-rolled sticks — a cool, resinous temple blend. Made in India by HEM; sold by the box.

The Scent

A cool, resinous temple blend — sandalwood, camphor and a touch of bhang-like herb — burned for Shiva, the destroyer of what must end.

What's in the Box

• Count: 20 sticks
• Stick: about 8 inches, on a bamboo core
• Burn time: roughly 30 minutes a stick; the scent lingers after
• Made in India by HEM

How to Use It

Light the tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so the ember glows. Stand it in an ash catcher, or push the bare end into a bowl of sand or rice, and open a window a crack — incense is meant to drift, not fill. Never leave it burning unattended; keep it away from curtains, children and pets.

In Tradition

Shiva is offered bilva leaves, ash, water and camphor flame; the incense burned before him is spare and cool rather than sweet.

Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep it away from anything that can catch, and out of reach of children and pets. For fragrance only — not for internal use.
