The fragrance of Ai-Pu Herbal Incense resonates with the spleen, liver, and kidney meridians, harmonizing yin and yang in the body.

Upon receiving your incense, take time to appreciate its aroma deeply. Gently bring a stick close and inhale slowly, tracing the journey of the scent. The rich, earthy mugwort base, layered with medicinal herbs, carries a cooling depth that swiftly travels through the nasal passages—inducing salivation, soothing the throat, and gradually settling into the dantian (lower abdomen), where it fosters a subtle bodily resonance.

This practice of aromatic mindfulness not only sharpens sensory awareness but also serves as a traditional inhalation therapy for holistic wellness.

Fragrance Profile:

• Top Notes: Potent herbal intensity, rapidly expanding.

• Middle Notes: Warm, expansive, and smooth.

• Base Notes: Soft and rounded, returning to mugwort’s natural sweetness.

Note: This evolution is nuanced—individual experiences may vary.

How to Savor Mindfully:

• Do not inhale directly from the burning stick. Instead, cup your hands to gather drifting smoke, then breathe in gently.

• The ideal distance for appreciation is 1–2 meters—this allows the fragrance to unfold fully without overwhelming the senses.

Usage Tips:

• 100% natural, handcrafted—no chemical accelerants or smoke reducers.

• Slow-burning (~45 mins/stick) with moderate smoke output.

• For small spaces, snap sticks in half to adjust intensity.

⚠️ Caution:

• Promotes qi circulation—avoid during pregnancy.

Key Terms for Authenticity:

• Meridian resonance (经络感应)
