Mindful Moments Incense Set
Mindful Moments Incense Set
Embrace time for yourself. Use the Mindful Moments Incense Kit to mark time that is just for you -moments spent watching a steady wisp of scented smoke, taking in its aromatic warmth. Crafted by hand, incense sticks in five scents are made from a blend of natural herbs, plants leaves, and tree bark, using traditional methods of Nepal. The ingredients achieve a mild aroma that won't overwhelm the senses. Set contains a flower shaped ceramic incense holder and incense blends to focus (Krishna agur, sweet flag rhizome, cedar), heal (kuth, kum-kum, ground asparagus), rejuvenate (juniper, valerian, cardamom), relax (spikenard, saldhoop, gum-guggul) and restore (sandalwood, licorice, holy basil). This incense set was created by artisans working with Sana Hastakala, a Nepalese fair trade organization meaning "small handicraft," working with independent producers, mainly women rural areas throughout the country.
