Palo Santo incense cords - handmade in Nepal

This special incense is a harmonious combination of two high mountain cultures: produced in the Himalayas, but with a precious raw material from the Andes. Palo Santo ("holy wood") has been used in South America for centuries in rituals, to cleanse rooms and to support spiritual ceremonies. Its warm, slightly sweet scent with citrus and resin notes has a clarifying, calming and uplifting effect.

Although Palo Santo is not part of the traditional Himalayan incense culture, it has been included in our range by popular demand as a fragrant addition and as a symbolic greeting from another mountain world.

Each cord is approx. 9-10 cm long, one bundle contains approx. 25 cords. They are made entirely by hand from sustainably harvested Palo Santo wood from Ecuador - from being filled with finely ground wood powder to being artfully twisted into the paper.

To burn, the cord is hung on a hook or in a suitable incense cord holder, which is available separately from Atelier Tibet.
