Agarbatti or the incense stick is hand made by making a paste of Aromatic wood, Leaves,
roots and a special adhesive (gum). This paste is rolled onto fine wooden sticks and sun dried
. The dried Incense Sticks are then hand dipped in Aromatic oils and perfumes to make a
finished product that enlightens the spirit when lit. The incense sticks are available in a wide
variety of fragrances and can be availed on customer"s choice.
For Sticks:
Put on your gloves. Lay your sticks in a flat pan (a shallow glass baking pan works well to lay
sticks in and submerge in the oil). Pour the incense oil over them. Saturate them by rolling the
sticks around in the oil. When the sticks are saturated, lay them out on soaking paper or towel
or cloth to dry. When the incense is still nearly dry, store it in an airtight container or a ziplock
bag, or wrap it in a foil paper to avoid leaking the scent in the atmosphere.
For Cones:
Put on your gloves. Put your cones in a large ziplock plastic bag and pour the incense oil over
them. Saturate them by shaking the bag with care. When the cones are saturated (turned
wet), lay them out on soaking paper or towel or cloth to dry. When the incense is still nearly
dry, store it in an airtight container or a ziplock bag to avoid leaking the scent in the
atmosphere.
Note:
• Use DPG (Dipropylene Glicol - a synthetic, perfumers cutting) to dilute the thick
incense oils. Do not use alcohol in place of DPG, it does not work well. Do not use
straight fragrance oil as it will make excessively smoky incense!
• Incense/ Fragrance oils are very strong and can melt or eat through many types of
plastic! so be patient and allow it to dry fully before using for best results. If incense is
still wet or damp, it will not burn properly!
• Cones take little longer than sticks because of their thickness.
The leftover mixture of fragrance oils and dilatants can be saved in a glass container for
future use. Dont just throw it up !
Some popular incense scents are Patchouli, Nag Champa, Sandalwood, Lavender, Jasmine,
Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, Amber, Musk, Cedar Wood, Cinnamon & Dragon Blood.
Herbal Incense
Herbal and Tibetan incense is blended primarily for effect. Scent is the secondary
consideration in many cases, characteristic herbs are subject to burn and not the scent
alone.Many natural incense ingredients have almost no aroma until they are heated. Notably,
Aloes wood as well as many other resins have little or no aroma until they are heated over the
fire. These types of incense are available in powder form. These are sprinkled on hot burning
charcoal to release their aroma.
We have Tibetan incense powder already mixed with the burning agent. This powder when
poured on a powder incense burner and heated with a match stick, catches a slow fire and
burns like a normal incense.
A word of Caution:
Always burn incense at a safe place, in the presence of adults. Keep it away from
combustible substances. Don"t put burning incense in front of blowers, like fans, AC etc..
Don"t play with fire.
