Fragrant Tibetan strings for the first Muladhara chakra

Traditional Tibetan scented strings for harmonizing the Muladhara base chakra with the scent of juniper, damar resin and clove. Strings are used in the Himalayan region similarly to incense sticks. Just stick them in a bowl of sand, hang them on a special stand, or put them in a wooden box and light them. For centuries these strings have been burned in Tibetan temples and are traditionally lit by housewives in Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan. Illustrative image.

Root Chakra (Muladhara ) – positively affects sexuality, sensuality and desire, stability and a sense of security. Its color is red, it symbolizes energy, passion, strength, courage and love. It is the color of people born in mid-autumn, i.e. from October 24 to November 22, under the sign of Scorpio .

Scented strings are handmade in Nepal using traditional methods . Local aromatic herbs from the Himalayas are used for this, which are ground into a fine powder mixture. This is then wrapped in thin strips of Nepali Lokta paper and gently twisted like a rope into a braid. Among other aromatic substances, the scented cords contain sandalwood, Himalayan cedar, nard - Nardostachis Jatamansi, foxglove - Orchis Latifolia, flowers from Didymocarpus Leucocalyx, chebuli heart, also called Nectar of Immortality - Tinospora cordifolia, musk, juniper and saffron.

Incense strings can be burned "standing up" in various containers, such as censers and smoking bowls , filled with fine sand, where we can stick them in like incense sticks, light their end and blow them out after burning for a while so that they only smolder. They can also be placed on the wire sieves of censers, in stone bowls, wooden chests or hung on a special stand designed for burning incense sticks.

Always make sure the incense strings are in a safe area away from places where their burning could cause a fire. Keep cords out of reach of children.
