Himalayan - Handmade Natural Incense Sticks
Daily Production
Each day we produce between 25,000 and 40,000 incense sticks, depending on the season and the availability of raw materials. Our production remains intentionally measured, far from industrial mass manufacturing, in order to ensure consistent quality, careful attention to detail, and respect for the natural rhythm of the process.
Empowering Women’s Work
Our production reality is composed primarily of women from local communities. Manual work provides them with a stable source of income and economic independence. We believe in the dignity of craftsmanship and in the social value it generates: supporting women’s work means supporting families, villages, and entire communities.
Certified 100% Natural Incense
Our incense is certified 100% natural by an authorized European certification body. Each ingredient is carefully selected and controlled to guarantee the absence of synthetic substances, artificial fragrances, or hidden chemical components. Certification is not simply a formal recognition, but a commitment to transparency and integrity.
Essential Oils and Raw Materials at Source
We use only premium natural raw materials and essential oils, sourced directly from their places of origin. Resins, woods, honey, and oils are selected for their quality and provenance, prioritizing direct relationships with local producers. This allows us to maintain integrity, traceability, and respect for regional traditions.
No Intermediaries in the Supply Chain
We do not work with intermediaries in our production chain. We oversee every stage directly, from the selection of raw materials to the final production. This enables us to ensure quality, fair compensation, and full control of the process, maintaining an authentic and direct relationship with those who collaborate with us.
Discover Himalayan, part of the Charkha Yoga incense collection, crafted at the intersection of tradition, nature, and mindful living.
Every incense stick is handmade in India, one by one, following ancient Indian traditions. Made entirely from natural, organic ingredients, certified by ICEA, each stick is a small act of craftsmanship, produced in full respect for the environment.
This particular blend combines Machilus macranta gum, Santalum album powder, known as sandalwood, together with juniper wood and green leaves, rhododendron powder, and roasted coconut powder. The juniper, rhododendron, and other high altitude botanicals in this blend are hand harvested directly in the Himalayas, gathered by hand following traditional methods still practiced in the region today. The fragrance is fresh and aromatic, led by the deep, creamy warmth of sandalwood, balanced by the crisp, resinous character of juniper and a delicate floral note from rhododendron. It is well suited to those who enjoy layered, natural scents with both warmth and freshness, ideal for meditation, quiet reflection, or bringing a sense of mountain air into your space.
Every Charkha Yoga incense is wrapped in handmade Nepalese paper, produced without electricity by a small family run workshop high in the Himalayas, at an altitude of around 3,000 meters. This paper carries the same spirit of care and tradition found in every stick inside.
