Incense Stick - Precious Lotus - 20ct

Precious Lotus Incense Sticks by HEM: a box of 20 hand-rolled sticks — a delicate, watery lotus. Made in India by HEM; sold by the box.

The Scent

Lotus — a delicate, watery, faintly sweet floral, the flower of stillness and the seat of every deity in Indian art.

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

The lotus rises clean out of mud, which is why it stands for enlightenment across Hindu and Buddhist teaching; its scent is barely there, and this stick keeps it that quiet.

Pairs Well With

Handmade Wood Incense Burner Boat, Lotus Oil .5 oz, Amethyst Tumbled Pocket Stone.

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.
