Dr. Kyenrab Norbu and in accordance with traditional formulas. Herbs used in the incense are organically grown and sustainably planted, the herbs benefit from some of the purest and most natural conditions in the world.  No artificial ingredients are used in the making of the incense.  Generally Tibetan incense is used for puja, daily offering, purification and as an air freshener.
