Lit and left to smoulder, it releases a steady fragrant smoke that fills a room. Lavender's name comes from the Latin lavare, 'to wash'; it scented Roman baths and English linen cupboards. The fragrance is floral, fresh and herbal. From the maker: Bring a soft, calming mood into your space with these Lavender Smudge Incense sticks, each paired with natural amethyst chipstones. Made in India and crafted with traditional methods. Size: approximately 20cm. Allow for small variations between batches. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) In Japan, the incense ceremony kōdō treats fragrance as an art: practitioners speak of ‘listening’ to incense rather than smelling it. Backflow and dhoop cones are a newer form: dense, stickless cones that burn quickly with a rich scent, well-loved for short rituals. Its name comes from the Greek amethystos, 'not intoxicated', and in older European tradition it was carried as a stone of sobriety and calm thinking. Today it is one of the most popular stones for a quiet corner or meditation shelf. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims. ## How to use - Light a single stick at the start of a reading, journalling session or meditation and stop when it burns out: a natural timer of 30–45 minutes. - Try one scent for a week before switching, so you learn to recognise it. - Keep incense well away from smoke alarms, curtains and bookshelves. - Set a simple intention, then light the incense and blow out the flame. - Moon idea: the new moon is the traditional time for beginnings and the full moon for gratitude and release. - Evening idea: light it as you switch off screens for the night, a simple cue to wind down. - Safety: always use a heat-proof holder on a stable surface, away from curtains, children and pets. ## Care - Store sealed in a cool, dry place to keep the fragrance fresh. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
