The preparation of this natural incense is very simple. The base is a carefully measured mix of powder extracted from the bark of tropical plants, diverse wood, sandalwood (from which the greatest part of the oil is extracted) and ground vegetable coal. The base is mixed with water to form a paste which is then rolled on to a bamboo stick, dried and submersed in a compound of pure aromatherapy oils. No perfumes or artificial fragrances are used.
