Tara Healing Tibetan Incense, 2 boxes

Fragrant sticks of Original Tara Healing Tibetan incense.

Tara Healing incense is a long standing favourite and we're pleased to have it back in stock. Subtle but strong aroma!

The best Tibetan incense is still produced in a traditional manner using authentic Himalayan herbs and ingredients, often using some herbs local to the vicinity of the monastery or doctor.

In July 2000 we were staying in Dharamsala in northern India, the home of the exiled Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama. Each day I would walk through the woods above the Dalai Lama's residence and each day I was delighted by the perfume of sandalwood wafting through the trees.

For a few days I looked around for the source of the fragrance until I eventually saw sticks of Tibetan incense drying on the roof of a building. The building turned out to be a small monastery and I'd stumbled across the home of Dr Dhadon, the maker of Tara Healing incense. A few years ago I met his son who now makes the incense.

I'd seen this incense among others in the local shops, I'd bought a few different types and this was the one I preferred. The incense is made at the back of the building and we looked round all the processes from the mixing of the herbs to the spaghetti extruder, which creates the 'sticks', and the drying racks on the roof.

To see the photos from this encounter with Dr Dhadon take a look at this blog I wrote in 2013. 

The price is for 2 boxes. One box contains 14 sticks, the sticks are approx 15cm long.

Packet size 15x2x2cm.
