Frankincense Hand-Rolled Resin Sticks

For millennia, Frankincense resin has been harnessed to purify areas and awaken us to new beginnings. Ayurveda recognizes its potency and uses it to help treat arthritis, heal wounds, regulate the female hormones and shield against bad bacteria. It is believed that burning frankincense every day can lead to healthier lives.
 
 
Designer, Annah Chakola says, "My grandmother lived by the water in a small Southern Indian coastal town. Every evening she would ceremonially smoke her home with frankincense resin. It was a ritual I loved, it filled her home with a warm earthy scent - a cleanse, purifying the space daily and helping maintain one's spiritual center. It was a place I found comfort in for many years.
 
Burning incense was a ceremony for me. As I got deeper into my spiritual practice and started traveling the world, that unforgettable scent still lingered in my mind. Everything I found since had an artificial smell that lingered and somehow did not feel natural - until I met a man from a village on the outskirts of my hometown of Kochi who was on his own quest, a little bit of an eccentric! He would gather frankincense resin from forest produce, and crush coconut shells, all using self-made prototypes in his backyard until he was able to create the nostalgia of my youth.. on a stick.
 
100% natural frankincense resin and coconut shell charcoal. I was finally home and happy to share with the world this ceremonial smoke with ancient roots."
