Genuine incense sticks - heart of sandalwood

These incense stick are made in Haute Provence exclusively from harvested vegetable products (wild shredded herbs, wood, resins and essential oils from wood or resins) unlike imported incense which is made from odourless powder glued to a bamboo core steeped in artificial perfumes and colourings. They are an authentic return to the Provençal tradition of herbs that were burned to ward off epidemics and purify homes. Sandal incense is made principally of sandal essential oil which has been used for 4000 years as an aid to meditation. In India many ancient temples are made of this wood. Cade wood makes the best holder, traditionally burned in Provence to purify the air and keep insects away.
