Incense is one of the oldest forms of Aromatherapy, the ancient art and science that uses the subtle power of fragrances to re-establish balance and harmony in the many levels of our being. According to the holistic science of Ayurveda from India, illness is a result of various imbalances in the 3 doshas [or 3 humours]: Vata, Pitta, & Kapha, and certain fragrances can affect the balance of the doshas on a subtle level. Auromere Incense is made with the highest quality essential oils.
