Incense Sticks: Mothers India Rishi Nagchampa

Rishi meaning ‘Yogi’ from the Vedic period, is a friendly cheerful scent of fresh and sweet red roses, fruity jasmine and blue violets. A favourite of children and teens.

The Mother’s India Nagchampa Fragrances Incense, are made with a wide range of aromatic gums, resins, wood powders, essential oils and perfumes. However the key ingredient is a native Indian resin called Halmaddi; a soft gum like resin obtained from the Ailanthus Malabarica tree. The tree is commonly called the Tree of Heaven.

Halmaddi is like treacle when it is fresh, but then hardens into a resin with a strong balsamic odour. When mixed with honey, its balsamic odour is further sweetened. The combination of Halmaddi and Honey enables the slow and long burning of nagchampa incense, and gives them diffusiveness and burning life of amazing degree. Halmaddi in revered for its metaphysical and medicinal values.
