Tibetan incense originated in 7th century temples and was later used in ordinary family life. With herbal, agarwood and sandalwood as its main ingredients, Tibetan incense has a sweet, bitter medicinal scent that helps clear the mood, calm the spirit and aid sleep.

Grind the wood into powder, blend in medicinal materials and extrude the paste with a bull horn. Cut even strips and leave them to dry. Watch the process here.
