At the heart of the traditional Indian incense stick (or agarbatti) is the bamboo reed. Fast-growing, self-regenerating, renewable and highly sustainable, bamboo is well suited to today’s increasingly eco-conscious consumers. Stamford London incense sticks are made from natural ingredients based on this central bamboo core, free of artificial colours. They burn cleanly, evenly and gently – steadily releasing soft, aromatic perfume for around half an hour. They are classed as direct-burning, as they don’t require a separate heat source.
Frankincense and myrrh have several advantages when burned together, including lifting moods, improving focus, alertness, and congestion relief. Research has found that burning frankincense, along with myrrh, can reduce harmful airborne bacteria by 68%.
