'Gandha' Incense Blend with Dragon's Blood and Copal Grey

Gandha is an energy-rich incense blend that combines the enveloping aroma and benefits of Copal Grey and Dragon's Blood.

In this synergy of perfumes, lies the profound interconnection between the Earth element in the body and the sensory experience lived through smell.
The term "Gandha" in Sanskrit means "Smell" and in Ayurvedic philosophy represents one of the five tanmatras - subtle energies underlying the five elements, which constitute the foundation of all existence. In Ayurveda, gandha-tanmatra is the subtle essence that generates smell, our most evocative sense, and its main element is Earth.
Through the aromas released by Copal Grigio and Dragon's Blood, the Gandha fumigation activates a powerful connection with the vital force of Nature and with the primordial creative and renewing source. Acting on Earth frequencies, Gandha becomes a means through which to try to re-establish a deep spiritual well-being: creating an environment that favors tuning with subtle energies and harmony between the physical and spiritual worlds, it supports the search for balance between mind, body and spirit .

How is the Gandha incense blend composed:

Copal Grigio is a resin obtained from the Protium cubense tree in Ecuador, known and used since ancient times as a natural incense for its aromatic and purifying properties.
Dragon's Blood , on the other hand, is the sap extracted from Croton lechleri ​​plants in Peru. Known for its bright red color, it is used locally as a dye to promote the healing of wounds and ulcers. In dried form, for its regenerating and protective power, it becomes a fundamental element in rituals and spiritual ceremonies.

The best method to obtain maximum yield and enhance the beneficial properties of incense is to use it with the copper Sublimator . The pure aroma of resins and herbs will be released without producing smoke or odors related to combustion and the diffusion in the environment will be delicate and long-lasting.

The steps to follow for a perfect sublimation are:

• Light a small candle and place it under the copper saucer of the sublimator. After about a minute the saucer will reach the ideal temperature to start sublimation.
• At this point, place a pinch of the incense mixture previously pulverized in the mortar on the saucer.
• The aroma of the incense is released into the air from the first moments. The duration of the fumigation depends on the quantity of the mixture that you want to sublimate on the saucer.
• When you decide to stop the sublimation, simply turn off the candle. The incense mixture that has not exhausted its aroma can be reused later.
• If the incense no longer releases any scent, after having extinguished the candle and allowed the sublimator to cool, it can be removed by applying a little pressure under the copper plate.

For deep rituals and purifications, you can use the incense blend on a lit charcoal inside one of our Incense Burners . The experience will be intense and enveloping.

In both cases, we always recommend pulverizing the incenses with the help of a mortar before using them, to promote correct fumigation and avoid carbonization of the resins.
